Saving the Old Growth Forests America’s Old Growth Forests are an endangered resource that is quickly disappearing. The ancient forests are being unnecessarily wasted, and are growing smaller and smaller with each passing moment. Because the logging industry and the organizations in control of much of the remaining old growth (approx. 5%) are failing to see its value from an ecological/spiritual perspective, the children of tomorrow may never gaze upon the history of today if we do not take

Cloud forests are tropical ecosystems scattered throughout Central and South America, Africa, and Oceania (Scatena, Hamilton, & Juvik, 1995). Frequent, low level moisture shrouds the flora and fauna found in these jungles in a constant hazy mist. This fog cover differentiates the cloud forest environment from lowland tropical rainforests or temperate rainforests (Doumenge, 1995). To support an ecosystem, many processes such as photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, nutrient cycling, and predator-prey

Temperate Deciduous Forests are located in the north eastern[21] half of America, [22] middle of Europe, many places in Asia, and southwest Russia. They have a decent [23] amount or precipitation at about 30 to 60 inches of rainfall a year. [24] Making it the second rainiest biome in the world. They [25] also have a mild climate with ranges of 40 to 70 degrees. Ohio is part if the north eastern [26] half of America so this is the biome we live in as well. It is also home to many different plant

Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Program – Equity and Effectiveness Introduction Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is a program that, like its name suggests, has the main objective of reducing the emission levels of green-house gases from land uses, through incentives in developing countries. The program includes measures related to conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forests carbon stocks (United Nations Framework

Literature Review Source 1 Species of special concern program By Len du Plessis August 2010 Summary: Fynbos and forest biomes are the main contributors to vegetation diversity in the Garden Route. Indigenous forests in the Garden Route cover 35 765.4 ha. The biome of the Garden Route contains 69% of South Africa’s sub-continent plant species. Approximately 30% of the Garden Route is covered in fynbos. Mountain and lowland fynbos have been converted into pine plantations, having huge effects on

A Forest Hymn by William Cullen Bryant The poem A Forest Hymn talk of the origin of all the nature that surrounds humanity and the activities of these naturally found objects. It gives an indication that the source of all the nature that we see is God and He is the one who controls their actions in all aspects and as to that, the poet implores the entire humanity to humble itself before the creator and controller of nature and worship him, not necessarily in houses or in crowds as both of these

cutting trees has been purifying the forest on a large scale, often adversely affecting the quality of the land and causing climate change. Forests still cover about 30% of the world's area. Today, valuable trees are cut down indefinitely and the quality of the land has been impaired today , problems are occurring on this earth. This is because trees have many uses for mankind and the world. Biodiversity expert Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman says "Climate and forest are interrelated". The rise of rainforest

Forests are home to about 80% of the world’s biodiversity and cover around 31% of Earth’s surface. The biodiversity that exists in all forests include; ecosystem diversity, genetic diversity, and species diversity. Each and every forest consists of many different habitats for animals, plants, and even insects. They also consist of different climates based on which type of forest it is. There are many different types of forests found all over the world but can be classified into 5 categories. The

forming, there were many issues beginning to arise and quite rapidly. One of the most common of these issues were our forests. Many people took to our forests, illegally cutting down trees and taking valuable resources as well as butchering many animals throughout the region. Eventually when this problem worsened, the state formed a group of men that would protect these forests and wildlife from harm. Preserving them for future generations to see and explore rather than see exploited lands with

Oaks are among the most genetically polymorphic forest species , hence their high adaptivecapacity 19 . These species are a carrier species and an engineer . They contain a significant biodiversity ( epiphytes , birds, insects, parasites and other symbiotes) and provide a low-acid, low-mineral soft humus that produces brown, neutral or even slightly alkaline brown soils 20 . Botanists distinguish two major categories of oaks 21 : oak deciduous whose leaves fall in autumn, sometimes spring ( red
