replacing old-growth forests with faster-growing young trees". A new study of young and old forests says how this is in fact not true. Loggers have said that new trees pull the carbon dioxide better than old trees‚ and this may seem true‚ but it is not. There is one point being overlooked from all of this. The older‚ larger trees can store much‚ much more carbon dioxide than a new tree could. By cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees‚ the CO2 is being released back into the atmosphere

Information on Oak Trees ? Oaks are among the hardiest of hardwood trees and over time can become large shade trees. These trees are popular for their size‚ long life and beautiful fall colors‚ but be prepared to wait many years for this grandeur if planting a seedling. Oaks can live and grow for hundreds of years. Attention to soil conditions‚ diseases and other factors can lead to long-living‚ beautiful trees. Deciduous Oaks Among the most common oaks are white‚ red and pin oaks. These types

to estimate the stand basal area. The measurements are taken from plots or quadrants‚ laid out in a random fashion. Using the timber crutch‚ hold the brass ball for the selected area under your eye and extend the Crutch away until chain is tight. Trees that appear wider than the width of the plastic are big enough or close enough to be counted. An advantage of this particular tool is its ability to correct for slope‚ as well as a relatively non time consuming way to get an estimation of basal area

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION Background of the Study We chose this study because we realized how much trees are chopped down to make paper and we realized that we should save more trees. To save more trees‚ we can use fruit peelings like the peelings of Lacatan and Saba to make handmade paper and if we use fruit peelings we do not just save trees but we also help reduce wastes. Statement of the Problem This study will compare Lacatan Banana (Musa acuminata) and Saba (Musa acuminate

Vermont giving people a very different view. Today almost eight percent of Vermont is forested. How did this happen? Vermont landscape has been drastically altered by human development. A hundred and fifty years ago Vermont mountains were stripped of trees‚ with only thirty percent of the state remaining forested. The people who settled Vermont believed that the ideal community consisted of small family farms. As a result‚ the forests were cleared to make room for them. These farms were not sustainable

October 3‚ 2013 In summer 2013 wildfires have been a major problem all over the world. When you think of fires you probably think about all the negative effects‚ but did you know that in some cases fires can be good? A way that we can help forests is by using a controlled burn or selectively logging. That is how you use a fire positively. That will help the community and the ecosystem. One place I will talk about in specific is Utah. The first thing I will address is the positive effects that
