What are the causes and effects of deforestation?
Some natural and unnatural causes of deforestation include:
Some effects:
How many species are not affected by deforestation?
If you look at the whole global ecosystem, every living organism is affected by deforestation one way or another.
What happens to the animals in the amazon during deforestation?
They party!!!!!!! WOOP WOOP!!!
^don't think so.
They are literally being kicked out of their home, so they run and try to find a new home, many of them die :'l
What impact do humans have on succession?
This seemingly simple question has a complicated answer.
Succession is the process by which one plant community replaces another over time in a given space, i.e. grassland to deciduous forest to coniferous forest. Natural events, such as forest fires, can reset the succession cycle back to a grassland, for instance, at any point in the cycle.
Humans can impact succession in a number of ways by suspending succession in one phase or another or by causing an event that restarts the succession cycle (i.e. starting a forest fire).
Suspending succession: We suspend succession when we promote one type of ecological community over another. For example, we manage some forests for the purpose of harvesting timber at a later time. Here, the emphasis is on mature, full-bodied trees that have balanced competition from neighboring trees. These trees will be harvested before they begin to fall down and begin to turn the forest into an old-growth forest where new growth comes up where old trees fall in the forest. Promoting and attempting to sustain this type of forest prohibits plants and animals that specialize in old-growth forests from getting established.
Another interesting way in which we impact succession has been the impetus to extinguish all forest fires since the early 1900s. Fires are naturally occurring and are an important way in which forest ages are regulated naturally, which, in turn, regulates the mosaic of food sources and wildlife habitats that occur. Putting out fires for most of the last century has resulted in larger forest fires more recently and decreased plant & animal diversity.
Restarting succession: We also can restart succession by starting wildfires, either intentionally or unintentionally. While not inherently bad in the grand scheme of nature - after all, nature in many cases depends on fire - it is a way in which man impacts succession.
What effects does deforestation have on the climate?
Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions
What are the advantages to cutting down trees?
There are a few basic reasons why rainforests and other timber are cut down :
Dunaliella salina is a type of green algae. It has a versatile range of habitats, including oceans, salt mashes, slat dishes and brine lakes. It flourishes typically in bodies of water that have a minimum 10% or higher salt content.
How do you reverse the negative effects of deforestation?
Reforestation is usually the answer to this. If this is not possible, you can try afforestation (basically planting trees where there wasn't a forest before).
How will recycling reduce the carbon footprint?
Recycling allows for materials to be used again or used as energy instead of fuels or electricity. By doing so, this reduces the amount of waste going into a landfill and also allows for energy conservation and resources conservation as the recycled products can be used again.
Yes, there is. An example is British Columbia's Mountain Pine Beetle, which kills many trees every year, especially since winters have been warmer recently and they can continue to flourish for a longer period of time.
Which would happen if more forests where cut down?
the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase :)
A tree is a perennial woody plant. It consists of roots, trunk or trunks, branches, twigs and leaves. Wood is made of xylem cells (they transport water and some nutrient within the plant), and bark is made of phloem cellls (they transport organic nutrients like glucose, which are required to photosynthesis process).//
Should you cut down a tree in your yard that has termites?
If a tree in your yard has termites, it's essential to assess the extent of the infestation and the tree's overall health. If the tree is structurally compromised or poses a risk to nearby structures or safety, removal may be warranted. However, if the tree is otherwise healthy, you might consider treating the infestation with appropriate pest control methods instead of cutting it down. Consulting a professional arborist or pest control expert can help you make the best decision.
What happens to the koalas when the trees are cut down?
i guess they be fine but they eat their leaves and wouldnt have anywhere the climb or hang
All fruit contains seeds, therefore, they are renewable, if you are able to access seeds

What recommendation can stop deforestation?
