Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in our world’s atmosphere acts like a sheet of glass on a greenhouse. It lets the sunlight through but does not let all the heats back out. The continued degradation of our forest heightens the threat of global warming because the trees and other plants that take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to be used for photosynthesis are gone. The burning of wood or its decay contributes to the release of more carbon which

FOREST A forest‚ also referred to as a wood or the woods‚ is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities‚ depending on various cultural definitions‚ what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and of what the forest is compose. These plant communities cover approximately 9.4 percent of the Earth’s surface (or 30 percent of total land area)‚ though they once covered much more (about 50 percent of total land area)‚ in many

Ancient forests around the world are in peril‚ but we can still save them. Governments and the timber industry need to understand what a crucial role they play in maintaining global biodiversity‚ not to mention how vital they are in regulating the climate‚ so they need to act now.

Making sure that the wood and paper we buy has come from well-managed sources (or‚ even better‚ is 100 per cent recycled) is something we can all easily do. We have

been efforts to investigate microbial rubber degradation: However‚ only recently have the first proteins involved in this process have been identified and characterized and have the corresponding genes cloned. Analysis of the degradation product of natural rubber and synthetic rubbers isolated from various bacterial cultures indicated without expectation that there was oxidative cleavage of the double bond in the polymer backbone. A similar degradation mechanism was postulated for the cleavage of
