What else can I help you with?
How could the impacts of deforestation on atmospheric carbon dioxide be reduced?
By reforestation, planting all the forests again. By afforestation, planting forests where there were none before.
Why does destruction of forests result in reduced rainfall and drier climate in deforested region?
Forests play a crucial role in the water cycle by releasing moisture through transpiration. When forests are destroyed, this process is disrupted, leading to decreased evapotranspiration and reduced cloud formation. As a result, there is less rainfall in the deforested region, which can contribute to a drier climate.
How can the forest help ozone layer?
The forests reduce glocal warming. If there is no global warming, ozone deplition is reduced.
How much timber was protected in the 1990's?
Environmental constraints placed on logging in the 1990s reduced by 75 percent the amount of timber harvested from national forests in the United States.
Why cant forests be above 2000 meters?
Forests typically do not grow above 2000 meters due to harsh environmental conditions such as low temperatures, limited nutrients in the soil, and reduced oxygen levels. These conditions make it difficult for trees to survive and thrive at higher altitudes.
Does haiti have any tropical forests?
Yes, Haiti has tropical forests, primarily located in its mountainous regions. However, these forests have been significantly reduced due to deforestation, driven by agricultural expansion, logging, and charcoal production. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect and restore Haiti's remaining forested areas, which are crucial for biodiversity and the environment. Despite the challenges, some areas still support diverse ecosystems.
What are some forests?
Some forest are rain forests, coniferous forests. and deciduous forests.
Clearing forests and grasslands for farming reduces what because land is used to grow only a few crops?
biodiversity
Is it true that the greenhouse effect can be reduced by limiting the destruction of forests?
Limiting the destruction of forests can slow the rate of global warming, but in itself is probably not enough to reduce the greenhouse effect. This can be achieved by reforestation, planting more trees, and by cutting our carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Describe at least one example of the environmental cost of water diversion from rivers to farms or cities?
Several consequences of river diversion for irrigation are:downstream river discharge is reducedthe evaporation in the overall irrigation region is increasedthe groundwater recharge in the region is increasedthe level of the water table risesthe drainage flow is increasedJust in the first category, reduced downstream river discharge, effects can include reduced flooding, disappearance of wetlands and flood forests, reduced availability of potable water, reduced shipping routes, and reduced fishing opportunities.
How big are forests?
There are many forests in the world. Each of these forests range from very small forests to very large forests.
Why are evergreen forests not economical?
Tropical Evergreen Forests are not commercially exploited because these forests signify the beauty of the earth and these forests are very dense forests.
