Deforestation and Habitat Loss

It is illegal to cut down the tree or trim the tree if the branch is as round as a tennis ball in the state of California.

It depends on many factors: soil type, climate, initial soil chemical conditions, residue left behind, aspect, slope, etc. When the soil is more exposed to climate through the removal of the forest canopy, many things change. However, these changes may only be short lived.

The soil will see an increase in sunlight and as a result will experience increased heating. This heating will likely exacerbate organic matter decomposition through increased oxidation.

The soil will also experience more precipitation and subsequent water movement through the profile. Will the major water "pumps" gone (trees can transfer large volumes of water from the soil to the atmosphere through transpiration) the soil will retain more. This movement has the potential to transport some nutrients to lower reaches of the soil profile. The water movement will also serve to weather the soil particles and over time (thousands of years) the soil will change in texture and nutrient loading.

The soil will feel less of a demand on nutrients, initially. With the major vegetation gone nutrients stored in the soil will likely be more plentiful for the next vegetative occupants.

There is a potential for increased sedimentation depending on the texture, slope, and soil cover. The trees deflect a tremendous amount of energy from rainfall. This energy now has the potential to move exposed soil. If there is enough slope, the dislodged soil may move. Loss of the upper portions of the soil are most damaging to productivity as this is where most nutrients are found. Another potential hazard or erosion is the movement of soil to water bodies which may bury benthic species, retard spawning habitat, and decrease storage capacity of lakes, dams, reservoirs.

All in all, the effect of the soil from forest clear cutting depends on a variety of attributes. Some may be beneficial and some may be detrimental.

if there are less tress that means there is less oxygen so our children's children's children may not live and it also mean loosing more and more animals that live in forests and also means as we run out of tress there is going to be less and less paper from trees being produced so in conclusion they should carry on doing for every 1 tree they chop down they should plant another 2 :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Saving Wild Life = Saving Our Lives

Animals are People Too!

We all need things in life that are cute and cuddly. Koalas. Wallabies. Possums. Save our Wildlife.

Hope this helped :] i got bored...goodluck with the slogans!

paper money is made out of 25% linen and 75% cotton

Approximately 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the world are used in paper industries annually.

Have you ever thought that the paper you use is made out of how many trees? The paper you use is made out of 10 trees.Please do not waste paper and use it intelligently.And yes daily almost '2,00,000' of trees are cut down!

tie a string to the branch that you want to cut down. and get a ladder and a chain saw and the person with the chain saw get on the ladder and the other person be holding the string and when the guy gets close to finishing cutting the tree the the guy with the string pulls so the branch comes down to the ground.

SAFTEY FIRST! ALWAYS WHERE SAFTEY GLASSES THAT WILL NOT BREAK

The main contributor of deforestation is Latin America with direct conversion to large scale agriculture. The second larges contributor is Asia with Africa being the last.

Deforestation is a permanent destruction of a forest for the reason of using that land for some other purpose. Effects of rainforest deforestation are: Loss of Habitat, Increased Greenhouse Gases, Water in the Atmosphere, Soil Erosion and Flooding.

Of course not! Every action has a reason behind it even if sometimes it's just "because I felt like it". Personally, I've cut down trees in the past because it's fun!

The trees store water in their roots and they also hold the soil in place by their roots. So the soil dries up faster.

Yes most paper are made from trees. They are made by using chopped up wood, water, and bleach. First they use these huge machines to grind them up then they wet it, then bleach ti to make it white then they press the excess water out. They cut up the big rolls of paper( the rolls are over 30 feet long and the diameter is about 15 feet.) to the size of our every day paper with super sharp blades.

reaction about illegal logging?

In little tree bird houses made by people that chopped all of these trees.

It's really bad. A lot of species are becoming extinct because of it.

deforestation is mainly caused only by human beings.it is because the trees are useful for many ways. but there are some forests which are still free from human interference they are tundra,taiga and so on.

for every tree you cut down replant 1 or more to keep the cycle going

Deforestation began because native people needed flat land to farm on (for agriculture), so they cut down/burned the rainforest and planted crops in its place. However, rainforest soil is actually very infertile, and once they'd stayed for 1-5 years, they had to leave and rip down the forest all over again in a different area because the soil in the first area no longer sustained the crops.

While this takes place in developing areas mostly, some logger companies from or working for more developed nations cut down the trees for the wood to make raw wood/planks for furniture and all forms of paper (including the stuff you use at school and toilet paper.)

By the way, deforestation is still occurring today.

people dig the ground then they put the tree

An increase in population can endanger a species, because it's entirely possible that that species will use up too many natural resources because of it's growing population, and then the masses will not have enough resources to survive, thus the species becomes extinct. One of the most famous examples of this is the Easter Island. It's believed that the people of that island cut down trees to make sleds which they dragged their enormous statues to the beaches with. The more people there were, the more trees they used, and then the trees became extinct, which resulted in the people dying because those trees were also their food source.

That's why a healthy (not too big or small) population is crucial to the survival of a species.
