Why is fire used for deforestation?
It is used because it is a fast and easy method, it burns Leaves and Wood quickly. im not to sure
Are newspapers inorganic waste?
No, newspapers are considered to be organic waste. This is because paper is made of wood fibers (primarily cellulose and lignin), which are organic molecules. The easy test for this is whether or not the waste will decompose on its own - if you leave a newspaper sitting under a pile of leaves, it will mostly decompose over the course of a year. In contrast, if you leave a glass bottle sitting under a pile of leaves, you could come back in a hundred years and the bottle would still be useable.
How long does it take a tree to respire 1 ton of co2?
2/3 of dry wood is carbon. The carbon came from carbon dioxide. Trees grow at different rates so you need to find out fast it grows to answer the question. Say the tree adds a ton of dry wood in 1 year (1 Ton Wood/Yr). That locks up 0.667 ton of carbon. The carbon came from CO2 which is 0.375 carbon by weight. Cross-multiply and divide...solve for X: 1 Ton CO2 / 0.375 Ton CO2 = X Ton Wood / 0.667 Ton Wood X = 1.77 Ton Wood Divide by the rate and you get the time: 1.77 Ton Wood / 1 Ton Wood/Yr = 1.77 Yr
What beech wood used for?

How long Wood take to decompose?
Wood takes varying amounts of time to decompse. small twigs that are a 5th of a inch in diameter can take 3-to-5 months to decompose. branches that are 1 inch in diameter can take up to 3 years to decompose. logs that are a foot in diameter can take 10 years to fully decompse. and logs that have a diameter of 4 feet across from a 300 year old tree ,can take up to 50 years to decompose. the best way to speed up the natural process of decomposition is to bury the wood about 1 foot deep and then fill it in with dirt this can speed up the decomposition by 50% meaning that a log thats 4 feet across will only take 25 years to fully decompose but the problem here is that wood eating insects will have a harder time decomposing it for best results bury your dead wood with termites. also burning wood in a bon fire is not a good idea because it re-releases the carbon back into the air. a hunk of wood is basically pure organic carbon. if wood is burned then it cancels out all of the positive impact that that tree gave to to before it died. these are some variables to consider Is it exposed to weather or protected? Has it been finished or preserved in some way? How big is it dimensionally? Wood chips or sawdust will decompose a lot faster then a log will. Wood will decompose faster if its wet. so if theres a pile of wood thats about 4 feet high typically the wood will decompose at different rates the wood at the bottom goes faster and the wood at the top wont decompose at all till it gets lower over time as the bottom eventually decomposes.

Can wood decompose?
i belive so... dead wood would be able to do it faster though but im sure it would take a long time...
Can painted wood decompose?
Yes. It does that all the time....ask anyone that has owned a house in New England.
