Can you make paper from every tree?

Not every tree is suitable for making paper, as the quality and type of pulp required vary among species. Trees like pine, spruce, and eucalyptus are commonly used due to their long fibers, which produce stronger paper. However, hardwoods like oak and maple can also be used, often for specialty papers. The choice of tree affects the paper's texture, strength, and other properties.

What pollution affects the tundra?

Power plants and factories burn different fossil fuels like coal and oil.

What is preventive fire?

When a forest is left alone, there can acumulate a lot of dead wood and plants on the forest floor. The longer it goes without a fire, the more debris builds up and then when there is a fire, there is a lot of fuel to burn. The more fuel the hotter the fire and the more live trees will be destroyed.

The Forest service will periodically set fires within an area of the forest and have a controlled burn. This will be a smaller fire that will not damage the larger trees but will clear out the underbrush.
