The trees in the rainforest's take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen which takes up 21% of air in the Earth. When deforestation takes place (when an area of land is cleared of its trees) in the rainforest's there are no trees to take in the carbon dioxide. This results in global warming, as the carbon dioxide traps heat within the Earth's atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Why does commercial farming have destructive affect on the rain forest?
it produces carbon
Why did Vatican City become carbon neutral?
The Vatican Climate Forest, to be located in the Bükk National Park, Hungary, was donated to the Vatican City by a carbon offsetting company. The forest is to be sized to offset the carbon emissions generated by the Vatican during 2007.
Approximately what percentages of global carbon dioxide emissions comes from forest fires?
Very little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly...It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%
How does a forest plantation project in the Philippines earn green or carbon credits under the Kyoto protocol?
Emissions trading allows industries in developed countries to effectively reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide by investing in forest plantations and clean energy projects in developing countries. (See Carbon Credits and Forest Plantations). In theory new growing forests adsorb and store carbon to offset the carbon emitted from industry. In practise these credits might not be truly additional, for example forestry in one place might be an excuse to de-forest elsewhere. The long-term management of the forest, particularly the susceptibility to fire and drought also needs to be considered.
Top 5 producers of carbon dioxide emissions?
The top five producers of carbon dioxide emissions are China, United States, India, Russia, and Japan. These countries contribute significantly to global carbon emissions due to their large populations and industrial activities.
Why does burning a forest result in carbon dioxide emissions?
It's all in the chemistry. CO2, from which the carbon in the wood was derived, is re-released into the atmosphere as the wood burns. (CH2O + H2O) + O2 --combustion--> 2H2O + CO2
If I am standing in the middle of a forest and am afraid where am I?
You are in the Frightening Forest.
What role does forest fire play in its carbon cycle?
Forest fires release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere that was previously stored in trees and vegetation. While initially increasing carbon emissions, the regrowth of forests after fires can result in carbon sequestration as new trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Overall, forest fires are a natural part of the carbon cycle, but their impact on atmospheric carbon levels can vary depending on various factors such as fire frequency, intensity, and ecosystem recovery.
What happenes after a forest is cleared?
After a forest is cleared, the immediate area often experiences soil erosion and degradation, as tree roots that stabilize the soil are removed. This disruption can lead to loss of biodiversity, as many species that rely on the forest habitat may perish or migrate. Additionally, the clearing can alter local climate conditions, increase carbon emissions due to reduced carbon storage, and affect water cycles. Over time, if not managed properly, the land may struggle to recover or may be overtaken by invasive species.
Do forest fires release carbon dioxide?
The amount of carbon dioxide emitted each year varies according to the amount of forest burnt. However, there is no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from forest fires, as long as the forests are allowed to recover and regrow.AnswerVery little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly... It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%
Develop your own policy to reduce UK carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050?
Grow more green plant life. Reason; plants breath in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen.
