Forest has been of great importance to mankind since prehistoric days. 60% of the earth once covered with forest. With the development of civilization, large areas have been cleared to make way for farms, mines, towns and roads. Today about 30% of earth is still forested.
The economic value of forests, supply many products like wood from trees as lumber, plywood and fuel wood or charcoal. Timber is used in furniture making, building houses, ships and railway sleepers. Pulp and paper are made from the cellulose of trees. Processed wood products include cellophane, plastics, synthetic fibers like rayon and nylon. Latex from trees such as the rubber tree goes to make tyres, tunes and a wide range of rubber goods.
Other uses; fruits, nuts and spices are gathered from the forest. Many medicinal plants such as camphor, cinchona, coca (from which the drug cocaine is extracted) also come from the forests. Cork from the thick bark of the cork oak is stripped for making bottling cork.
Forests help to conserve soil by preventing rapid runoff of water after heavy rain and minimizing flooding. Trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into air, which is a great benefit to mankind. Forests influence local and global climate. The forest is also vital as a watershed. Because of the thick humus layer, loose soil, and soil-retaining powers of the trees' long roots, forests are vitally important for preserving adequate water supplies. The wild animals and other beings get enough protection from the solar heat, temperature and the leaf cover formed on the earth gives cooling effect to the earth. . Since trees absorb heat, we shouldn't cut them down. Natural wildlife is important because it is part of the natural circle of life. If bears start to die off, {as it would be too hot without trees/forests} than the trout are going to become overpopulated and other scavengers that rely on bears will begin to starve. Without eagles and other Birds of Prey, rodents' population will increase which will cause more rodents in the cities and towns.
What else can I help you with?
What happen when they were no forests?
Without forests, there would be a significant loss of biodiversity as many plant and animal species rely on forests for habitat. The absence of forests would lead to soil erosion, loss of carbon sequestration, and disruption of the water cycle. Additionally, deforestation can contribute to climate change by releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
What will happen if human removed forests what will happen to the balance between thef gases?
If humans remove forests, the balance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will be disrupted. Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis. Without them, CO2 levels will rise, contributing to global warming and climate change. Additionally, the loss of forests can lead to increased emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, further exacerbating the imbalance.
What would happen if more forests were cut down?
The amount of CO2 would in the atmosphere would increase and by the way my name is ANGEL HARPER, lol
Where is a wildfire most common?
Wildfires are most common in regions that experience hot and dry climates, such as Mediterranean climates, grasslands, savannas, and forests. These areas are more susceptible to wildfires due to the abundance of flammable vegetation and dry conditions that promote fire spread.
What type of Forests are found just below the timberline?
Below the timberline, you would typically find subalpine forests. These forests are characterized by a mix of coniferous trees such as firs, spruces, and pines, as well as deciduous trees like aspens and birches. The subalpine forests are adapted to the harsher conditions higher up the mountain.
What would happen if forests disappeared?
if the oxygen
What would happen if there were no trees?
There would be no woods, forests and very little shade.
What would happen if most of the forests earth were cut down?
we would all die
Which would happen if more forests where cut down?
the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase :)
What would happen if more forests are cut down?
the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase. apex
What will happen if there is no birds in the forests or there is no forests for the birds?
I guess nothing
What would happen to the wild life if forests were cleared?
ecosystem=unbalanced, many organisms=dead
How many seasons are there in temperate deciduous forests?
If you were in a tropical rainforest, what would you expect to happen each afternoon
What would happen to the climate of the Amazon Basin if all the Rain Forests were converted to pasture land?
I think it would get f***** up
What happen when they were no forests?
Without forests, there would be a significant loss of biodiversity as many plant and animal species rely on forests for habitat. The absence of forests would lead to soil erosion, loss of carbon sequestration, and disruption of the water cycle. Additionally, deforestation can contribute to climate change by releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
What would happen if the vast areas of forests are cleared?
Oxygen levels will decrease and species of animals will gradually disappear.
What would happen if fairies were on earth?
i know. nothing! they will just sleep in trees and look for forests to heal nature some how.
