Deforestation and Habitat Loss

alot

The exact number of trees cut down in deciduous forests varies widely depending on the region and specific logging practices, but it's estimated that millions of trees are harvested annually for timber, paper, and other products. Deforestation rates can be influenced by agricultural expansion, urban development, and illegal logging. Sustainable practices and reforestation efforts are crucial to mitigating the impact of tree removal on these ecosystems. Overall, maintaining balance is essential for preserving biodiversity and environmental health.

It must not be. In order to make paper from tree bark the only way to find out is to do it your own way and experiment.

Man made woods are made from scrap woods so are quite environmentally friendly. They can be sourced in large sheets which is useful as natural woods are limited in size. Thirdly they are generally cheaper than natural woods and finally they are very stable which means that they do not warp or twist.

Apricots grow on small to medium sized trees. White, multi-petaled flowers with a reddish tinge at the base emerge before the tree's heart-shaped leaves appear. By late July or early August, the apricot fruit ripens. More than 20 varieties.

The main cause of deforestation is human encroachment. People cut down trees and clear forests so that they can carry out farming or build new settlements.

Zero is important because it gives us the concept of having nothing and there being void this is used for purposes with math and real life in how we view things. Infinity goes on and on forever providing a concept that time does not end or a feeling of eternity which is hard to grasp. But if time did have an end and things just stopped, that would be equally as hard to think about.

Portfolio analysis is the systematic way of analyzing products and services. It is composed of the business' product mix to determine the optimum allocation of its resources.

because they contain methane, which is a flammable substance.

According to the TV show QI, the main flammable ingredient is hydrogen. (whatdoctor)

hi im a 14 year old boy and i got this one...look... Plasma is often called the "Fourth State of Matter," the other three being solid, liquid and gas. A plasma is a distinct state of matter containing a significant number of electrically charged particles, a number sufficient to affect its electrical properties and behavior. In addition to being important in many aspects of our daily lives, plasmas are estimated to constitute more than 99 percent of the visible universe.

In an ordinary gas each atom contains an equal number of positive and negative charges; the positive charges in the nucleus are surrounded by an equal number of negatively charged electrons, and each atom is electrically "neutral." A gas becomes a plasma when the addition of heat or other energy causes a significant number of atoms to release some or all of their electrons. The remaining parts of those atoms are left with a positive charge, and the detached negative electrons are free to move about. Those atoms and the resulting electrically charged gas are said to be "ionized." When enough atoms are ionized to significantly affect the electrical characteristics of the gas, it is a plasma. In many cases interactions between the charged particles and the neutral particles are important in determining the behavior and usefulness of the plasma. The type of atoms in a plasma, the ratio of ionized to neutral particles and the particle energies all result in a broad spectrum of plasma types, characteristics and behaviors. These unique behaviors cause plasmas to be useful in a large and growing number of applications important to our lives and to the world around us. caleb crow.

The only carbon dioxide released by simply cutting the tree is that which is produced by the energy required to cut the tree: the human breathing out carbon dioxide as he swings an axe or uses a saw, the carbon dioxide emitted by a chainsaw's combustion engine, or the carbon dioxide emitted by logging machinery while cutting the tree.

Significantly more carbon is emitted afterward as the lumber is transported from the site and as the tree is cut up into smaller pieces, then the smaller pieces are shipped all over. Finally, as the wood biodegrades (or burns), some carbon dioxide will be released.

You guys suck not a single answer.

yes becaause we need the space for new homes so that more people and children can have homes that are warm.

Advantages:

- Extremely buoyant

- Very soft & light

- Low density with high strength

Disadvantages:

- Import costs may be high due to the origin being South America

It can if it wants to take down a tree but I don't think they go around knocking trees down for the fun of it.

About a billion (from what I hear, i bet more). There is no exact number because nobody counted them. There are 6-7 billion people on earth and 1 tree can support only 1-4 people. However the ocean also helps us get air.

Further reading on the above statement:

I did not write the above comment. I did however once expand on the subject in this forum in a mildly conjecture laiden piece that focused mainly on data harvesting pontification rather than actual figures. This previous entry and those that surrounded it that I speak of, probably would not have helped you find the answer to the actual question as posted. However, these comments have been strangely deleted leaving only the one above... About a billion........

Wiki.Answers.com seem to have an automated system of informing those on the list of contributors when something has changed on a post. I received a mail telling me that further data was available on this tree topic and I click-rushed to see what comprehensive study had been submitted to augment the discussion we had been having. All previous entries cleared out, I only found this above three line statement. About a billion.......

I clicked on "improve answer" when I saw the above comment come in. But strangely I don't have the answer beyond what I already stated a while back, and I therefore can't really improve it. So why did I bother to have further say on the matter?

Well it was just the phenomena surrounding the entry above that made me unable to just pass it by. I had to re-contribute.

Actually though, if you'll forgive me, I can't really talk directly about the subject in hand - IE counting trees - but more about our (I'm guessing male) friend above who felt led to give us the answer we all so desperately needed.

What we are dealing with here is a new breed of internet ready data. Someone who has decided to contribute to Answers.com, whilst having absolutely no information whatsoever on the topic!

His statement above comes straight to the point - "About a billion" - good work! We are on to something. Is our friend above a learned environmentalist / botanist / geographer / statistician? I guess we could surmise this was the case if he then went on to quantify and qualify the statement - and indeed he does.... the data comes to us with due eloquence: "from what I hear - I bet more".

You know, this site exists for excellent reasons - it's an open forum full of extremely useful data. We are so lucky to have the internet, it saves us hours of trawling through libraries, universities and otherwise making relentless phone calls and writing letters to experts around the world. Now, if we need data like this - just ping out the question in Google and someone somewhere will meet you with a fresh answer. It may not be qualified in the slightest - but that is immaterial as it turns out. At last! The information revolution is complete. it's truly remarkable.

And here, to grapple with the situation in hand - namely to answer "how many trees are there in the world?" our friend steps in. A noble soul who, out of the goodness of his heart, intends to educate us on the topic in a way that truly satisfies our thirst for knowledge. A hero no less. He hears a figure on the wind (one billion) and thinks that there are actually "more".

I think this must be a feeling in his mathematical water. He has a hunch that a billion isn't quite enough. Do we suppose that our friend is using a new form of data collation? or is his system simply called, "write whatever you feel like writing whether you know something or nothing about a subject?"

But wait - he is actually a fount of data, this is a magnificent contribution! It is now time to place this information within its full context. He now informs us that nobody has ever counted the trees on the planet! Well why not? This is an outrage! It would only take me a few minutes to count the trees in my garden and submit the answer online. If everyone did this in one afternoon, then we'd have an accurate answer by the next morning. For woodlands and forest land, we could just send some small children with a packed lunch on a field trip for the day, and have them add their findings to our database. Can't be hard can it!

Nobody ever counted them. Where did he get this data? Has anybody counted the non-counters to ensure that there really aren't any? Perhaps someone HAS counted them, but not stepped forward to say "I am the lone tree counter!". Now is your time to shine! Identify yourself! But you don't exist. The reason I know this is because it clearly says so above. Nobody ever did it. We now know this.

Here's yet more golden info - One tree can "support" between 1 and 4 people. It isn't clear whether he is referring to people actually climbing the said tree in his example of support or whether it is actually more of a shorthand statement for life support in all its categories.

Put a tree in a room, surround it with 1-4 people and watch how there people thrive! They get fruit from it's branches, oxygen from its leaves and a non-stop source of fun and entertainment to boot! Yes indeed. Since our world population is covered here too (6-7 billion), and the trees of the world are supporting us in all these wonderful ways, this figure must surely be accurate. The next time you go out with 2-3 of your friends somewhere, stop the moment you chance upon your first tree. You need go no further. You will be fully supported. If however you have more friends than this, you should really start to carefully think about where you live versus how many trees are in the neighbourhood.

Here's a quick world of warning on our current situation: According to my maths, if there are only 1 billion trees (plus/minus the later hunch aspect to the figure termed "I bet more") and there are 6-7 billion people requiring the aforementioned "support" then there are potentially 3 billion unsupported people out there today. Gasping for breath without any hope of survival....

But wait! If you are by the sea though, there is nothing to worry about. Our friend above finalises his erudite in depth study with a hugely valuable parting nugget of data: "the ocean also helps us get air". Thank goodness for that! Now we can all rest in our beds - safe in the knowledge that there will never be a vacuum in our atmosphere, thanks not only to the billion (or probably more) trees in the world - but also the ocean's benevolent and perhaps somewhat mysterious contribution of "air".

May all libraries be turned into supermarkets! May all professors of world studies put their feet up and relax. We must indeed welcome in the new era. The solution to our never ending quest. Because of the great contributors to Answers.com like our firm friend above, we will never need to look anywhere else to solve the questions of life. Quick, ask him another question - (whoever he is). He may not have any information at all, but he (like me - as it turns out) has an overwhelming need to contribute nonetheless. And that's really what's important isn't it. Outstanding!

Your job now is to also click on "improve answer" - but perhaps, this time, to actually answer it!

Habitat is the place a plant or animal lives.

The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more solar radiation (in the form of infra-red heat from the warmed earth) is absorbed in the atmosphere and prevented from escaping to space.

It will not change the transmission of incoming solar radiation through the atmosphere.

About 2-3 possibly 4 if your handwriting is small. Depends on how big you write, really.

they mean the enviormnent to which we live in E.G: that there are earth quaks in the world.

The foliage in the Amazon is known as "The Canopy."
