Forest

Rough Draft Research question: What measure can be taken to lessen man-made forest fires? Introduction: Forest fires have been an issue that has plagued Arizona for quite some time now. Although it is not a problem we often hear spoken about, it stills need to addressed. Most of the wildfires that occur are man-made, caused by the careless actions of people. The public needs to be informed on how to prevent/lessen forest fires in order to start winning this endless battle. People need to start to

In investigation 1, the data points are very clustered from the height of 150cm to the height of 300cm. This makes sense as saplings are defined as young trees that are taller than 1.35m above the forest floor. So between 150cm and 300cm is most likely average height which would be the majority of the population. The overall data set of investigation 1 is alot more spread out than the compact data set of investigation 2. On the other hand, in investigation 2 all the data points are overlapping and

We were walking through the forest; we had just got out from school. I was taking a look behind me and see Sarah running trying to keep up with my pace. “Slow down, I can’t keep up with your pace” she said breathing heavy from running so much. I rolled my eyes at my dramatic friend; she glared when she saw me roll my eyes at her. I turned around and continued walking at a slightly slower pace. “It's not like anything bad is going to happen” I pointed out. It's like she thought Big Foot or

in the Amazon, which makes it the most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world. This great expanse of rainforest harbors about half of all species on Earth. As large areas of this tropical forest are cleared by deforestation, entire species are vanishing, many of them unknown. The dense tropical forests also hold a large amount of carbon that is being released into the atmosphere because of deforestation. Although deforestation in the tropics is rapid and widespread, some people are making an

of our unique forest resource. Ninety percent of the earth’s trees between three and four hundred years old have been cut down. The remaining ten percent is all we will ever have (Gallant, 97). The definition of deforestation by the Random House Dictionary of the English Language is "to divest or clear of forests or trees.” Deforestation is one of the most significant issues of our time; considerable measures must be taken to prevent further pillaging of our unique forest resource.

Forests are usually a beautiful place. They are filled with all different types of animals and noises. You can feel the sun on your skin as it shines in between the trees. The lush greenery around you makes you appreciate the nature. In Koshu, Japan, this is not the case. Aokigahara, is a forest placed below the Fuji Mountains. Unlike most forests, this one reeks of death and darkness. The fourteen squares miles are filled thick with trees. Tall trees that are so close together that the sun does

project I will be examining how the forest landscape works in conjunction with three aspects of this book: the text of Where the Wild Things Are, the illustration of Where the Wild Things Are, and the music found in “Under the Stars” from the Lion King. First of all, after my presentation, I will review the forest landscape aspects of this book from my earlier in-class media presentation. For example, I will point out that the text says that Max’s room turned into a forest. Then, I will show the class how

in South America and we need your help. Trees are disappearing together with other forest plants. In Venezuela there is land without plants or forest trees. Colombia is a country with a lot of deforestation. The trees in this tropical forest are disappearing. People are killing and removing trees for coca. In Bolivia, there is a forest protection law near the border. In Venezuela, there is destruction in the forests but the government does nothing. The Venezuelan government does not teach emotion

have on Old Growth Forests in the Temperate Rainforest Biome with heavy emphasis on the deforestation of the Boreal Forest. In addition, the majority of the research will be focused in Canada with some comparisons to other Temperate Rainforests in different countries. Forests are a very important part of our planet; not only do they supply resources for humans, but they also provide food and shelter to many different species of animals, insects, birds and plants. Old Growth Forests are characterized
