Ecologically, renewal begins almost immediately; however, if left to do so naturally the process will be slow. Once the dead wood is removed and new trees are planted the regeneration phase is sped up to make safer and productive habitat for all of the forest’s plants and habitat. The global warming trend that we see being aggravated by the MPB epidemic will gradually renew balance and the new forests will begin to capture emissions and create oxygen, in turn creating a healthy
Primary succession isn’t likely to occur in the UK as there isn’t much bare rock left. Secondary succession is when an area that was once colonised by plants, then the plants are suddenly removed. For example in a forest fire, as a result of this succession has to start again. Secondary succession is much faster than primary succession and will reach climatic climax much sooner. This is because there will still be a lot nutrients and soil left behind from the previous ecosystem.
Further, if the lumber mill was closed, it would add additional power to suppliers, who would be supplying 100% of the bark, instead of their current supply of approximately 50%. If the saw mill was closed, then the whole tree would not be used, therefore going against MacTara’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. 5. MacTara should expand their product line to reduce reliance on local sale of lumber and volatile commodity prices . They already have the necessary equipment in order to accomplish this task and there is a demand for value-added products in both Canadian and British market.
Action 1 = We can stop cutting down trees which is taking away habitats. Action 2 = Build more conservation areas to protect lichens, trees, flowers and bees from being extinct in our ecosystem. Action 3 = Stop polluting the environment and start recycling more can help protect and ensure these species survival. Also, start protecting the flowers and trees from pesticides that are killing
The Once-ler initially harvested the tufts by cutting down the Truffula Trees, but was visited by the “Lorax”, the self-proclaimed guardian of the forest. The Lorax pleaded with the Once-ler to stop the deforestation of his home, and persuaded the Once-ler to vow to never cut down the trees again. As thneed sales
This new source of lumber is cheaper to harvest due to the massive quantities that allow the second manufacturer to stop buying the limited amount of lumber within its domestic market. Without having to worry about the high price and limited supply of lumber anymore, the second manufacturer can focus on what it does best, producing treated lumber. With more treated lumber in the domestic market, housing prices would start dropping as the price of treated
Not only is the beetle epidemic killing off the ecosystem for the Grizzly Bears, it is also contributing to this little problem we keep hearing about on the news, and by Politian’s, Global Warming. We hear about it all the time, witness its effects every season, but some people still don’t believe it. The way that the Pine Beetle is affecting Global Warming is that it is changing the lush green pine forest into brown dead zones that are releasing carbon into the atmosphere. The Pine Beetle outbreak is actually threatening the balance of carbon in the region (Ira Platow 1). Carbon is a greenhouse gas, this means it has heat trapping features so it retains heat from the sun and gradually heats up the
Due to animals consuming more grass than can be produce, the ground becomes scattered leaving the soil exposed to erosion. The NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Services) has a program to help prevent overgrazing. The program “provides information and support to enable ranchers who own their lands to burn unwanted woody plants, reseed the land with perennial grass varieties that hold water, and manage cattle so that herds are moved to a new location before overgrazing occurs” (Wright & Boorse, 2011, p. 288). If this problem is left untreated, could be a threat to the food chain. Deforestation is when trees and other vegetation is being removed converting the forest to another land use, this exposed the soil and often leads to erosion and loss of soil fertility.
Yet I think the worst part is the natural resources like trees that will be cut down to make room for the machinery and drilling as many of those have been there for years. Along with the trees and forest come the wildlife animals that have their home in the forest and depend on trees to survive. All these not to include the pollution that comes from all these machines and work that will be done in the
Before the war, there are many trees in the forests in Cambodia. But nowadays, the amount of the trees in the forests is being reduced rapidly. The reasons which cause this are from the nature and especially
