To make room for humans. We seem intent on destroying our planet.
To allow man to survive. Fortunately many areas are like North America where trees and forests are growing in acres, numbers and density.
Remember that 100 years ago, a forest fire could go on for months and destroy millions of acres. Today we can stop these fires.
There are many reasons for cutting the trees example:
To clear land for farming and for building. In many cases, trees were planted to BE cut. They are a crop, like wheat or corn, and are used to make paper of building lumber.
The simple answer is to obtain wood; but there is more to it than that:
The latter use is more damaging as it is usually unmanaged forest that is cleared, destroying entire ecosystems.
Because governments worldwide have a strangle hold on the hemp industry preventing the growing of hemp fiber which could easily replace the wood pulp fiber used in paper making.
People are cutting trees down so that they can make paper, houses and stuff like that.
Farmers cut down trees and harvest them to clear land for crops or pasture.
Because are capitalist economy makes it profitable and rewarding to commercially harvest the world's forests like a crop.
for paper and wood
Trees grow until they are cut down. Your pine will grow and grow.
In the Pacific Northwest region of the US, most timber companies are practicing the best sustainable forestry they know how. While it's still not totally sustainable due to the use of fossil fuels, the forest crops they produce are very sustainable. In fact, today's non-protected forestlands are in better shape than they've been since the white man first came to this region.
There are many disadvantages of an electric stove. Some of the cons include high consumption of energy and having a greater risk when compared to other types of stoves.
Canada exports a lot of softwood lumber. It exports maple syrup, which is also derived from trees. Canada has a well developed pulp and paper industry as well, and exports paper.
The advantage is tht you will have your own style and it will cost less money......the disadvantage is tht byuing fabrics may cost a lot of money!
The merits of using fiber board is that it is inexpensive compared to materials like wood and that it can be easily painted. The demerits are that it is weaker compared to an alternative like wood and that it does not take nails well.
blake street
it's used to make paper, and maple syrup. also trees give us oxygen and we give carbon dioxide and they use it to make oxygen.
Shelterwood is a harvesting system where sufficient numbers of trees of a given density remain to act as a protective crop for newly planted or regenerated seedlings to thrive. Shelterwoods act as nurse crops helping to prevent snow press, reduce pest management risks and helping to modulate within stand temperature extremes preventing excessive cold and heat from damaging the regenerating crop below. At a future time, the shelterwood is harvested to release the crop it was protecting. The density of remaining mature shelterwood trees may also vary by the regenerating species light requirements and pest management needs. For example, Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) can suffer from extensive white pine weevil [Pissodes strobi (Peck)] damage, which attacks the leaders (tops) thus splitting the tree into multiple tops and significantly reducing the log qualities of the future crop. Evidence points to moderate shade drastically reducing the impact of the white pine (leader) weevil thus dramatically improving the quality of logs from the future stand of Eastern White Pine. As such, Eastern White Pine is ideally suited to the even-aged shelterwood harvesting management system.
Shelterwoods can also cause an increase in within stand snow accumulations, thus increasing the total amount of precipitation that site receives.
up to 4 trees per second
320 per minuet
19,200 per hour
460,800 per day
this is only if 4 trees are cut down per second, (and is not the average)
Im not sure if this answers your question but a forest the size of 4 Football (soccer) fields is cut down every minute :)
The United States National Park Service is mandated by Congress to preserve and protect natural, cultural, and historic resources while providing for the enjoyment of future generations, and it is the job of park rangers to fulfill that mandate.
Historically, park rangers performed law enforcement, backcountry patrol, fee collection, and interpretive/educational functions all simultaneously. Today, the jobs are split into separate divisions where rangers specialize in one of the functions. Law enforcement rangers are like police, but with different rules and regulations than other policing agencies. Fee collection is under the direction of law enforcement rangers, and fee collectors are not technically "rangers" by job description. Backcountry patrol may be done by law enforcement rangers - these are called "protection" rangers - or by non-law-enforcement rangers or "backcountry" rangers. Rangers that help people better enjoy and understand the park are "interpretation" rangers, and they are the ones you are most likely to encounter in a park visit. Depending on their training and qualifications, park rangers may respond to medical emergencies, wildlife situations, and fires.
