Deforestation and Habitat Loss

None...redwood is used for everything but paper...gum trees are used for making paper. I saw this on the History or Discovery channel show recently.

Neem is something that is used medicinally. Almost all parts of the tree can be used, including the roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit.

deforestation ;)

Because there are many species of life that have been here for millions of years. The planet did not do anything to deserve this kind of destuction. Humans must learn their place, and sustain quietly as the earth tries to replentish.

Deforestation affects Hawaii the same way it affects the rest of the world. Animals are displaced from their homes and many face extinction because their habitat is being destroyed.

i think wood is a renwable soucre if you plant another tree after i

one of the causes of the disaster is deforstation by the thevies, but we dont know who they are

Nearly 4 billion trees worldwide are cut down each year for paper!

A human footprint is what a person leaves behind when he or she walks in a soft surface such as mud, wet sand, or tracks mud or dirt onto another surface. It is created by the foot touching the ground and pressing into the soft surface.

It's all about the money. Farmers want more money in their operations, and they'll do just about anything to get it, including getting rid of more forest so that they have more land to work with and grow their crops on. Same with the cattle barons, the more grazing land they have the higher stocking rate they can have which means the more animals they can own and ultimately sell to market.

Deforestation would immediately result in the end of forests and the end of the polar icecape and humans.......

Deforestation affects plants, animals, and humans. Deforestation makes it more difficult for other animals to live, and also makes it difficult for plants that are supposed to grow in forests to thrive.

Trees store carbon dioxide. When they get cut down they realease this gas. It contributes to greenhouse gases. now that there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere they are letting it offeven if they are not cut down. also scientists have found that over rainforests that clouds are forming higher letting little rain reaching rainforests drying them up. soon they will all be gone! The answer above is very, very wrong. Yes, trees store carbon dioxide. However, when they are cut, this carbon dioxide is not released. On the contrary, it is permanently [b]sequestered[/b] in the wood and wood products made from that tree. (Next time, do some research before you delete information provided by someone who knows what he is talking about.) On the other hand, if we didn't cut them down, then they would eventually die. And when the die, they will rot. And When they rot, they will release that carbon dioxide. Moreover, once they are cut, if the acreage is replanted with seedlings, those seedlings will grow much faster, and store more carbon dioxide per year, than the older trees that were cut down. The one thing that should be avoided, however, is burning trees. Like rotting, this releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, only very suddenly, rather than gradually as with rotting.

the miners are cutting down there homes!

The owner of the timber sells it and gets paid. The loggers that cut it get paid. The mill that buys it, cuts it and sells it gets paid. The companies that sell equipment and supplies to loggers get paid. The lumberyard that bought lumber from the mill sells it to builders, and gets paid. Builders use the lumber to build houses. They pay their workers, and sell the houses and get paid. You get a house to live in. The bank earns money from your mortgage, and uses that to pay interest to people that have savings accounts. The timber owner, loggers, mill hands, lumber yard crew, builders, carpenters take their earnings and buy things, which means someone else made money selling them gasoline, food, boots, jeans, cars, etc. The county or city gets taxes they would not have gotten on your new house. Last, the logger buys seedlings, and pays people to plant the new crop of trees that will grow up and become lumber or paper. Replanting of harvested timber has been required by law in the US for more than 50 years.

deforestation affects the earth as it would increase the temperature in the atmosphere which would ultimately result in global warming.. due to deforestation wild animals lose their home and shelter during adverse conditions..

I was just seeking this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage. ggfdfcaddaeaddkc

It has little, if any affect on the ozone in our atmosphere. The major factor for ozone thickness of the "layer" is sunlight. Without sunlight the layer thins. With sunlight hitting oxygen, we end up with ozone. This is why the only holes we see are the annual thinning areas at each pole during the end of their winter months.

Some two human activities that affect land resources include encroachment into forests and directing industrial wastes into rivers. Industrial effluents can lead to poisoning of the fish in the river.

because of the gravity of the earth

animals become extinet

Depending on geographic location, the natural build-up of one inch of topsoil requires about 400 - 10,000 years. Certain locations can require less, and others, even more.

we must protect endangered animals in the rainforest and the whole entire rainforest because once they are extinct they are extinct forever.it's not like people will want or need to farm in or near a rainforest but when you just simply play around and accidently step on a ant or even a flower that can harm the whole rainforest.it can harm mostly the animals because when one little things is either harmed,threatened or even extinct that totally changes the life style of the rainforest and the animals and the plants in that whole entire rainforest.KEEP WORKING ON SAVING YOUR ENVIROMENT AND PROTECTING AGAINST harmed, threatened OR EXTINCT ANIMALS.

Forests are the lungs of the earth - they provide the oxygen we need.
