Deforestation is the destruction of a whole forest to make it available to build or live on the land. This problem is getting worse to the point that and estimate of 7.3 million hectares of forest are being cut down a year. Deforestation is an issue to the earth because it is cutting down the amount of oxygen we have in our atmosphere, this is also bad because with the cut down of trees is the cut down of animals homes. Deforestation has happen since the beginning of time but is getting worse every day with more people having houses built. The reason that the trees have been cut down is because people need wood and paper and room to build houses.…
With carbon dioxide production so high and on the rise, it is obvious that more trees are needed than ever before to counter global warming, and yet we continue to remove them faster than we can repair. The effects of deforestation are only just beginning to be seen, and without forest management on a global scale it will soon be felt by the future generations to…

240,000 miles of Amazon Rainforests are taken down each year for human supplies. Many animals and different species live in the Amazon forests. Most times, when they lose their habitat, they have no place to go and their species has a larger chance of going extinct. Amazon Deforestation must be stopped. Many things are affected by deforestation of the Amazon.…
The deciduous forests in Canada are temperate, and usually appear between the 25 and 50 north parallel. They consist mainly of hardwood and broadleaf trees, which in turn, consist of Maple, Oak, Beech, eand Elm tres. Deciduous Forests occupy a relatively small area of Canada, and have mild climates, with 750-1500 mm of rainfall a year, and a mean temperature of 10 degrees celsius. Deciduous forests are also one of the few forests that do go through 4 seasons. Raccons are found here, as well as the White tailed deer, and the Coyote, which originated from the grassland.…
In the novel “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert, humans are destroying the world by burning fossil fuels, polluting oceans, rivers, lakes, and the air but, is it really the individuals human 's fault or is it corporations caring too much of profit that they will do anything to make an extra pennie? How many times have you heard about oil spills? Personally I have lost count of the ever increasing number of oil spills.…
1) The deforestation that India encountered could have effected India’s farming land creating the “quality of life” of the people of India to not develop in the same ways as the most developed countries like Australia and the U.S. If farming was a very crucial element to their countries and others for food, then the Urbanization of their country could have had a negative effect. They might have gotten more from their farming than their factories and building for mass production or if they were simply using the trees for goods to sell throughout their country and to others. 2.…
Climate change of Canada To inaugurate, climate change is affecting the regions of Canada in disparate ways. These habitudes are centered around tree-chewing bugs, fire activity, and aspen dieback. Even though the outcome of Canada’s forests look bleak, there are some better causatums. These include letting the scientists learn about what would happen if the tree population changed drastically, as it is doing.…
Climate change is affecting not only Canada but the entire world. It is a change in global or regional climate patterns and is the change of mild to increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels. I believe that climate change is something that can be eliminated or lowered with the help from everyone. Some people say we have passed the turning point but I disagree, there is always room for improvement in any situation.…
Current projections note that socioeconomic pressures coould lead to more than half of the closed-cnopy beign degraded by 2030. Previous modeling studies have shown that removal of Amazon forest can lead to significantly warmer surface temperatures and drier conditions due to signifiant decreases in precipitation. By mass continuity, the decrease in ascent associated with with the deforested regions causes changes beyond the areas of disturbance. Deforestation can lead to disturbance in the general circulation, most notably the Hardley and Walker circulations. Changes in large-scale circulation lead to significant changes in precipitation outside of the deforested region: particularly over southern South America, sub Saharan West Africa, the congo and southwest Nort America.…
These processes can be monitored and affected by human intervention. This means that the forests can either be preserved and utilized more effectively, or destroyed and left to harm the planet…
The Great Bear Rainforest is a temperate rainforest of 6.4 million hectares, home to many rare and endangered species, as well as watersheds that provide the best salmon runs left in Canada. Unfortunately, the Great Bear Rainforest is under threat due to clearcutting and its effects on the environment. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, “30% of logging in the Great Bear Rainforest has been in watersheds since 2001”, meaning the water quality of that area has been affected. As for wildlife, deforestation is one of the leading causes of animal extinction in the world today. Due to the negative effects deforestation has on wildlife and watersheds, the acts of clearcutting in the Great Bear Rainforest must subside.…
According to Michael Daley, associate professor of environmental science at Lasell College in Newton, Massachusetts, the main problem produced by the practice of deforestation is it’s impact on the Earth’s global carbon cycle. In large quantities, greenhouse gases, create climate change. Oxygen is unable to absorb thermal infrared radiation like greenhouse gases are able to, therefore, the deforestation of rainforest trees lessens the amount of carbon stored while simultaneously releasing the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide into the air which according to the 2012 study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accounts for 82% of all greenhouse gas. While Carbon’s impact from deforestation is alarming another greenhouse gas affected by deforestation induces direct effected on climate change. The exchange of water vapor and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and land surface directed effects climate change as the global vapor flow has decreased by 4%, according to the National Academy of Sciences.…
According to Burroughs tropical deforestation increased from 11.8 million per year in the 1970’s to 15.4 million in 1980s (pg. 98). Deforestation and forest degradation is a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. Forests have a vital role to play in the fight against global warming. Forests and it soil can help absorb and store carbon dioxide and harmful gasses, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and release oxygen (Schimel p.135), but if forests are cleared or disturbed we will lose out on the benefits of having tons of tress. Trees can converse water to air vapor which help reduce heat.…
