Logging Forests : 

Logging Forests 1 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Importance of Forests : 

Importance of Forests Forest are important because: Involved in Nutrient Cycles Recycle water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen Regulate climate Controls Water Flow Holds groundwater Prevents erosion (leaves catch 60% of rain) 2 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Importance of Forests : 

Importance of Forests What is Erosion? The movement and loss of soil Soil can be eroded by (1) force of a rain drop and (2) blowing winds Deforestation has increased erosion because of “rain splash” 5 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Deforestation : 

Deforestation The removal of forests and natural plant growth by natural or human means. 10 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Types of Logging : 

Types of Logging 20 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Logging : 

Logging Logging is the practice of cutting trees in large quantities for commercial (human) use Two methods are Clear Cutting Selective Cutting 21 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Clear Cutting : 

Clear Cutting Logging companies comes in and cuts all trees Preferred method 22 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Clear Cutting : 

Clear Cutting 23 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Clear Cutting : 

Clear Cutting Advantages Less expensive so wood products are cheaper Company chooses types of trees to replant 24 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Replanting Trees : 

Replanting Trees Hardwood Trees (deciduous trees) Softwood Trees (evergreen trees) 25 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Clear Cutting : 

Clear Cutting Disadvantages Increase in soil erosion Nitrates are not absorbed by trees, so nitrates are washed into rivers and create algal bloom Food webs & habitats are destroyed 26 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Soil Erosion : 

Soil Erosion 27 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Soil Erosion 28 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Algal Bloom : 

Algal Bloom 29 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Loss of Habitat : 

Loss of Habitat 30 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Slide 31: 

31 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Clear Cutting : 

Clear Cutting Trees are replanted after the cut, but….. Monoculture Forest Trees planted are 1 or 2 types of trees Decreases biodiversity which results in Less complex food webs Trees being more susceptible to disease 32 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Complex Food Web vs Simple Food Web : 

Complex Food Web vs Simple Food Web 33 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Monoculture Forest vs Natural Forest : 

Monoculture Forest vs Natural Forest 34 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Selective Cutting : 

Selective Cutting Only certain trees are harvested from an area Trees harvested are usually largest (oldest) an most valuable 35 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Selective Cutting : 

Selective Cutting 36 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

37 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

38 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)

Selective Cutting : 

Selective Cutting Advantages Natural Forest left intact to regrow naturally Increased biodiversity Decreased soil erosion Disadvantages More difficult so more expensive More dangerous for loggers 39 M.Bregar (Dante C.S.S.)
