Is a pine tree a nonrenewable resource?

Answer 1

It depends on how man maintains trees. If man clear-cuts (cuts down all the trees in an area) and does not replace them, then no, they are not renewable. However, if man cuts only the mature trees from a forest and leaves the rest, the younger trees will grow and seeds from those trees will produce new trees. In that case, trees are renewable and the forest will keep reseeding itself. Man can also plant young trees to replace those he cuts.

Answer 2

No, pine trees grow fairly quickly compared with rain-forest trees.

We can plant a pine tree and it will grow in a few years. So pine is generally regarded as a renewable resource, if we replant for every one we cut down.

But if we harvest pine trees to extinction, then, yes, they are non-renewable. This is not a likely situation as countries like the United States and Canada have more forest acres and larger number of board feet today then even 70 years ago,
a pine tree is a renewable resourse

As trees can be replaced by planting other trees they are a renewable resource.
No. I can go chop down my pine tree for Christmas, and plant another one to take its place. That makes it a renewable resource.

Answer 3

Forests and wildlife are both renewable in the short term but non renewable once a point has been reached or to a point. Forests can be managed to some degree sustainable forestry cuts older tress while planting new one to replace them, this works in some types of environments better than others. Rainforest deforestation through over harvesting of trees will eventually clear huge areas, however given enough time and in this case it could be 1000s of years it will recover, but certain wildlife species may have been driven to extinction in the process. Wildlife can again be managed, but again there is a tipping point where wildlife is driven to extinction once this tipping point has been reached it becomes a non renewable resources.

no they are renewable
