Forest

Forests are one of the most important natural resources with diverse economic, socio-cultural and ecological uses. The livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people Worldwide have been engaged on forest products either directly or indirectly. Forests have a vital safety net role in time of needs (Anonymous, 2008). Changes in land use and land cover are increasingly rapid, and can have adverse impacts and implications at local, regional and global scales (Brandon, 1998). Besides, the vicinity of

The rainforest and the coniferous forest have several similarities and numerous differences. The rainforest is home to millions of animal species and thousands of plant species, and the rainforest is a biodiverse tropical environment with lots of precipitation. The coniferous forest is also home to copious different species of animals and plants, and it is an environment that varies on the amount of precipitation and goes through all the seasons throughout the year. The rainforest has more advantages

Green forest is easy on the eye, it breaks the harshness of roads and buildings and adds interest to farmland and mountain slopes. In its sanctuary birdsong and air currents play with your auditory senses and aroma 's of nectar, decayed logs and leaves fill the air. After a long absence from New Zealand, I decided to reacquaint myself with the types of forests found in the Land of the Long White cloud. In this article, I have based the forest communities on the categories from The New Zealand Plant

Intro: Forests are very important for the environment. The importance of forests cannot be underestimated. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Forests also provide a habitat for a vast array of plants and animals, many of which are still undiscovered. They also supply the oxygen we need to survive. Forests are a home to many endangered species but forests are also endangered due to these species. For example the red deer eats just about any plant that

requirement for food, fuel, shelter, and foreign exchange. Year on year, a space of tropical forest the size of Great Britain is "converted" from an area equal to the size of Europe. Ever since 1950, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), half of the world 's forests have disappeared. “Latin America has lost 37 percent of its tropical forests,” says the FAO. As more and more of Latin American forest are degraded, more and more detrimental effects are being seen. Deforestation is changing

Ponderosa pine forests of the Colorado Plateau cover a large portion of the higher mesas and mountains from elevations of 6000 to approximately 8000 feet. They often form almost pure stands encompassing tens of thousands of acres at elevations above 6500 feet in the southern area. Located southwest of Flagstaff to the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, the Mogollon Rim comprises the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona. The escarpment reaches close to 200 miles across central Arizona

other village wanted to have some forest products fromBastar. (Q.)How did the forest laws initiate the scope of employment? (1 Mark) (Ans)   Many communities left their traditional occupation and started trading of forest products or other economic activities. For example, the Mundurucu people in Brazil who started collecting latex from wild rubber trees became totally dependent on rubber trades in the later years. (Q.) Who could hunt according to the new Forest Law? (1 Mark) (Ans)   The customary

Forests are an irreplaceable part of Earths ecosystem. Every forest is unique due to flora and fauna which houses it. They are homes for many species from simple bacteria to big carnivore animals. Forests absorb carbon dioxide and provide oxygen and is a great place for recreation and biological studies. Temperate forest of northeast United States is an example of rich diversity and harmony of plants and animals. Unfortunately, constant growing of human population and demand for more land

The United States Forest Service is in favor of logging to a certain extent but there are several groups that oppose logging in the United States. Groups such as NativeForest.org and EarthRoots.org state that logging in the United States and specifically in industrial areas has led to deforestation and near extinction of many animals. Forests cover 31% of the land area on the planet. They produce vital oxygen and provide homes for people and wildlife. Many of the world’s most threatened and endangered

The paper introduces one of the earliest experimental forests that is also regarded as a forestry research center, the Priest River Experimental Forest (PREF). The forest was established in 1911, lies between the Priest River and the Selkirk Mountains in the State of Idaho. By interpreting its particular existing conditions, including geography, climate, hydrology, soil, vegetation, readers can easily understand its significant role in the region of Northern Rocky Mountain, providing many valuable
