You should check out what the USFS is doing. We have been increasing in total acres of forest as well as density for decades.
There is more acreage of forest in North America then when the civil war was fought I wish every country followed our lead.
A sample of soil from a temperate deciduous forest would be less nutrient-rich than the soil from a tropical rain forest, because the moisture would continually break down mulch to support a bigger variety of organisms.
Tropical rain forests naturally support more species than a deciduous forest too.
What are most trees in a coniferous forest called?
Most trees in a coniferous forest are called either evergreens or conifers.
Why it is important to retain some forests and to replant any that you cut down?
It is important to retain the forest because they hold the majority of the carbon and green house gasses that is on the earth today. It isn't as easy as replanted a forest there are native species that can't be replaced after we destroy their forest. Most of the species that get killed by deforestation are species only found in that forest. Stop deforestation, But you should still plant trees because the soak up carbon and green house gasses.

This question makes no sence...
If you reword, it might be ansewered better
Why do only some types of animals live in the rain forest?
- Climate: because rainforests are located in tropical regions, they receive a lot of sunlight. The sunlight is converted to energy by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Since there is a lot of sunlight, there is a lot of energy in the rainforest. This energy is stored in plant vegetation, which is eaten by animals. The abundance of energy supports an abundance of plant and animal species.
- Canopy: the canopy structure of the rainforest provides an abundance of places for plants to grow and animals to live. The canopy offers sources of food, shelter, and hiding places, providing for interaction between different species. For example, there are plants in the canopy called bromeliads that store water in their leaves. Frogs and other animals use these pockets of water for hunting and laying their eggs.
Why is it dark inside a forest?
the understory is not like the canopy or emergent layer. its not completely dark like at night. its probaly kinda of like the crack of dawn or sunset. like sunrise and sunset!!!!!
Why are deciduous forests important for animals?
probably because as there are no leaves at certain times in the year, no photosynthesis can occur, so therefore the oxygen levels will be low and they need animals to keep them surrounded with carbon dioxide.
Why are forest so important to life on earth?
They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They house an incredible diversity of wildlife. They provide us with a source of building supplies. They anchor soil so it doesn't blow away. They break up and block wind so we don't experience windstorms. The provide shade and beauty. They are, in short, nothing but a miracle.
How many different species of plants are in temperate forest?
36 different kinds... 12 if you catoragize....
The forest resources refers to a term that is associated with the resources that are found in a given forest, Some of the forest resources includes the wild animals, water, wildlife, timber, recreation, fisheries, and the botanical forest products just but to mention a few.
How many acres of forests are cut down each day?
Twenty nine million, eight hundred thousand trees(29,800,000) are cut down every day in the world.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports (2005) that the Earth's total forest area continues to decrease at about
- 35 714 hectares (89 000 acres) per day. Or
- 1488 hectares (3720 acres) an hour. Or
- 25 hectares (62 acres) a minute. Or
- 0.4 hectares (1 acre) every second.
An American Football field measures 0.53 ha (1.32 acres).
Many people think the actual figure is much higher, because these figures were provided by each country, and may not include illegal logging.
In 1927, scientists of the United States Forest Service Allegheny Experiment Station did a survey of the Allegheny State Forest. They found an average of 335 trees per acre.
Using that number the number of acres above would translate to 29,800,000 (Twenty-nine million, eight hundred thousand) trees cut down every day in the world!
(That number is really just a guess. Twenty years after the first survey, they were finding 497 trees per acre. By 1972 they had 997 trees per acre. In 1998, the latest survey, they were back to 346 trees per acre.)
What are some positive and negative things about war?
War is never a good thing, but if there is a bad recession in a country you can expect a war to bring it out of that recession. War makes money! It gives people jobs in factories to make weapons, planes, etc. It's bittersweet.
dont forget about
How forests influencing the quality of air soil and water resources?
They provide valuable cover over the land mass and contribute towards rain fall, controlling temparature of the earth increase in atmospheric oxygen, houses large fauna and flora, controls erosion of soil, and over a period of time to production of crude, coal etc. Forest also houses large number of medicinal plants.
How does hydroelectric power dams destroy the amazon rain forest?
They often flood and drown the trees because it is so flat there, also killing wildlife and fish The reduced water flow downstream disturbs riverbeds and affects floodplain farmers who rely on seasonal floods for nutrients to enrich the soil and kill pests. therefore they turn to pesticides and artificial fertilizers which have their own negative environmental effects.
What are the adaptations of an oak tree in a temperate deciduous forest?
In the deciduous forest there are many flowers like the passion berry and the blue lily. There are many other flowers but those are some of the main ones.
The Deciduous forest does not have much vegetation but there are many trees that contain outrageous amounts of flowers. Animals need these trees because they provide shelter and some use them for food and even water from the leaves. The trees adapt to this forest by having thick bark barriers on the trees to keep the animals out and the trees from dying.
