How does logging effect the water cycle?

Trees provide oxygen for us but it also provides it for water as well. Water is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen. If we keep on cutting down trees (logging) it will effect thewater-cycle.


Why is logging harmful to the environment?

Logging (even clear cutting) is actually not harmful to the environment if it is done correctly. Logging on state and federal lands provides almost all of the lumber that we use to build most of our structures. So in that view, logging is good for the economy. Wood stores Carbon in the form of cellulose which a plant gains from atmospheric Carbon. This is helping our environment. Large plants/trees take in less Carbon than small plants/trees. So it only makes sense for us to cut the large trees for lumber (where the carbon continues to be stored) and allow younger trees to develop and take more carbon out of the environment. I do however agree that there are some areas that should not be logged to preserve some areas as they are without being touched by man. Also, if logging is done wrong, it can lead to mass erosion and to temperature increases in specific watersheds.

What is moderate damage?

"Moderate damage" in terms of tornadoes is damage typical of an F1 (now EF1). Such damage includes roofs severely stripped of material, mobiles homes badly damaged, broken windows and some trees uprooted or snapped.


What is the cause of cutting trees?

How is selective logging sustainable in the rainforest?

· Selective logging is a method of cutting only selected trees. The trees that they cut down are usually one that has been marked by a forester (logger). This is better than clear cutting because selective logging only picks out one or two trees from an area. This is good because it leaves the unwanted trees unharmed and doesn't damage the ground.


What is selective logging?

Selective logging : removal of certain trees in a stand as defined by specific criteria (species, diameter at breastheight, or height and form). It is analogous to high grading. Not to be confused with the selection silvicultural system.Selective logging will leave some trees standing, which allows for natural regrowth, less impact on the wildlife, and less ugly patches in the landscape.

Why Logging makes the animals habitat gone?

Some animals live in trees, and some people just don't care. Sustainable logging practices aim to replace trees removed by logging, and to remove trees at a rate that does not exceed the rate at which new trees can grow to replace them. Even sustainable logging practices can have an impact on an ecosystem, for instance if a forest of several kinds of trees is replaced with a single variety that may be more profitable for the logging company. However, in many cases logging is performed with total disregard for wildlife or even human residents. Logging unsustainably is cheaper in the short term, and the cleared land can provide farmland for growing crops and raising cattle. Because of the composition of forest soil, however, this soil may only be suitable farmland for a couple of seasons, prompting further logging and habitat destruction in order to provide more farmland.
