have to maintain forests. The main functions of silviculture include control, protect, facilitate and salvage. Aspects of these functions can be observed at the Lafayette Field Station among the growing American chestnut trees. Silviculturists use control to manipulate the growth of forests for certain benefits. Controlling a forest can be done by altering a tree’s genes, adjusting its sunlight and choosing its surroundings. Some desired outcomes would be a more diverse forest, trees with certain

Creating a Culture of Renewal: Saving Jobs, Saving Resources The topic of forest management in America has been one of the most controversial and long-standing issues between loggers, environmentalist groups, and forestry workers. All parties have several valid arguments regarding their position on forest management politics and how they have impacted the world’s forests and ecosystems. The question is how can these groups come to a compromise that will satisfy all parties involved? Loggers have

Forests are an irreplaceable part of Earths ecosystem. Every forest is unique due to flora and fauna which houses it. They are homes for many species from simple bacteria to big carnivore animals. Forests absorb carbon dioxide and provide oxygen and is a great place for recreation and biological studies. Temperate forest of northeast United States is an example of rich diversity and harmony of plants and animals. Unfortunately, constant growing of human population and demand for more land

a part of Bavarian Climate Program (2008-2011), the Bavarian Forest Administration developed extensive maps of the forest areas and developed climate models of different species. The plan envisaged conversion of 2, 69,000 ha of private and community stands of conifer forests into mixed stands. The target is to convert 1, 00,000 ha by 2020 and another 1, 65,000 ha of state forests by 2033 by a public enterprise of Bavarian State Forest known as Bayerische Staatsforsten. It includes replacement of

Dry tropical forests and savanna are most exploited and endangered ecosystem of the world (Murphy and Lugo 1986). In recent years increasing proportion of tropical dry forest have been modified into open secondary forest or savanna or completely destroyed through such activities as mining, agriculture, herbivory, and fire (Champion and Seth 1968; Singh et al.1991). The clearance of the vegetation generally increases the chances of soil erosion and invasions (e.g., wood plant encroachment) which

that followed the extinction of the dinosaurs allowed the forest to spread all over the continent. In addition, the climate changes that have occurred in the past thirty four million years have allowed the savanna type biome to spread into the forest. The rainforest was, at first, believed to be inhospitable for human life since it's soil was considered poor. However, humans started to live in the forest about 11,200 years ago. The forest is home of many dangerous animals such as jaguars and anacondas

country from 1960 till date. Also, given recommendations in which the resources can be managed. CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction Nigeria is one of those countries in Africa that is fairly rich with natural resources. For example Crude Oil, Coal, Iron, forest, farming, Fishing and so on. It is believed that natural resources development is one of the factors that help the country in some many areas like employment opportunities, economy and so on. The concept of resource is human centered concept. In

rainforest is home to the endangered cassowary. The flightless bird plays an important role in spreading seeds to continue rainforest growth but much of its habitat was decimated by Cyclone Yasi. Rainforest Rescue spokesman Sean O'Shannessy says cassowaries around Mission Beach are hungry. "There are many reports coming in about cassowaries emerging from the forest showing signs of heat stress and apparently looking for food," he

boreal forest, is the world's largest biome, covering 8% of land area on the planet, apart from the oceans. It spreads across Siberia, northern Asia, and northern Europe, and occupies millions of hectares of North America. In Eurasia, it covers most of Finland, Sweden, some of Scottish Highlands, some coastal areas of Iceland, much of Norway, much of Russia, and areas of northern Mongolia, northern Japan, and northern Kazakhstan. The boreal forest is characterized by coniferous forests consisting

Algonquin Provincial Park, a park that located between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River in Central Ontario, was established in 1893 and it is the oldest provincial park in Canada. As a big forest, here is a question, should logging be allowed in Algonquin Park? The answer should be yes. There are a number of benefits of logging, such as timber resources, land resources, and job opportunities. However, it should be limited. In an ecosystem, balance is the most important thing. First of all, wood
