Old growth forests

infernos destroy about four to five million acres of land a year. But in 2012, wildfire burned more than 9.3 million acres, an area about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined” (U.S. Wildfires). Destroying homes, crops, towns and of course forests. Yet the effects of these fires can be seen from a negative perspective as well as some positive. Plus there are natural causes as well as manmade that

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.

National Park, these fires burn in old growth areas. Once the fire is burned out it leaves nutrients in the soil to aid in regrowth for future plants. After the fire Grizzly Bears rummage through the now loose and nutrient rich soil for certain roots that are apart of their diets. These roots are only accessible to the Grizzly Bear after a fire has cleared out the forest. Once regeneration starts, the nutrients in the soil allow other food sources to begin growth and bears start to forage for them

. INTRODUCTION: Nigeria like other developing countries is undergoing rapid growth accompanied by rapid development pressure with high demand for Housing and Infrastructure as a result of population growth. In 2000 the United Nation food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) found that “the role of population dynamics in local setting may vary from decisive to negligible and that deforestation can result from “a combination of population pressure and stagnation of economy, social and technological condition”

simple manner. The deforestation begins on a local level, then to a regional, level and then last the global level. As you will read, the forest is home to people and wildlife, etc. The forest also has many purposes for which we need but “we” as a whole is a big picture. We can use it but we also abuse it. Every living creature needs the forest for oxygen, that is what the trees are for, but if we keep cutting them for logging, cattle-raising for soy, and many other reasons we do what we

Sarah Orne Jewett's "A White Heron," the forest is a place where the main characters change because of their encounters. There are two main similarities between “Young Goodman Brown” and “A White Heron”– both meet a figure in the forest and have their personalities changed because of it. In Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown, when Brown enters the forest, he meets the devil. Similarly, in "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett, Sylvie encounters a hunter in the forest. These encounters are pivotal moments

Pinchot brought the gospel that forestry was the art of using a forest without destroying it… [He] preached that through the use of proper methods a forest could be both harvested and preserved.” (McGeary 23) This conviction reveals the underlying theory to all of the conservation movement, that nature should be viewed in the confines of its economic value. For example, Pinchot’s policy did not allow for the continuation of old growth forests, but demanded that they be cut down and let new trees to grow

near the Cabo Blanco Absolute reserve focusing on forest succession within the scope of the unique continuous conservation efforts of the national government. A total of thirty (0.02 hectare) forest inventory plots were laid out. Species composition and population structure of tree species were characterized representing 28-year-old and 50-year-old successional forests, and small areas of primary forest. The research showed that longevity of growth and area use were determining factors in the species

White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire. Contained within the White Mountains is the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire Maine. The 800000 acre forest is a powerful presence in the White Mountains; a vast forested and mountainous region and a refuge for visitors from all over the world. Speckled mountain and Caribou Mountain with heights of 2877 and 3343 respectively only cover about 12000 acres of the rugged ranges and magnificent slopes.
