At the rate of which we are cutting down forests when will we have cut down all the world's forests?

Question

Please answer soon.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

we will all be dead long before we manage to cut down all the forrests ,

we need the forrests to be able to survive

General note on trees

our consumption of water is ever increasing and our drinkable water supply is shrinking because of polution ,and the production of potable water is less all the time because of deforestation.

the forrests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth(sweet water)

some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastel aereas .

the bulk however,comes from the forests who feed the rivers and keep them running all year round,with their excess subteranean water,and from the rainfall which also comes from the trees .the trees condense water from the atmosphere in the night with the surfaces of the leaves,this feeds the rivers after the tree has had enough the excess moves on to subteranean water,

on the other hand in the day water that is brought up by the roots and that is within the foilage evaporate and creates clouds the dust from the leaves seeds the clouds and rain is the results

this process is called precipitation

If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. we kill us.

the trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature confertable to live in.

DESERTIFICATION

desertification is also a result of bad agricultural methods and deforrestation

in the dessert the nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up

the sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.

two major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese

the trees evaporate a mist which ,which protects us from the strong rays of the sun .

in the days of the dinasaurs this planet was under an aquiferus manta ,a mist that covered the entire earth ,and there were very few desserts .

Count how many there are today,and many of them are as a result of mans actions.

the sahara used to be forrests

arabia ,irak ,iran used to be fertile lands in biblical times

Ghengas Kahn burned all the forrests here and filled the well with water and so turning vast lands into dessert.

Modern agriculture today is doing the same as ghengas kahn but in much bigger territories.

these are some of the reasons why trees are important.

so to counter act these fatal processes we must reforrest and at the same time reduce our carbon emissions.

most governments are aware of these and many first world countries now include programs to reduce their carbon emissions.

the world bank pays large subsidies for farmers to plant trees especially a tree called Pawlomia because it is one of the better ones that capture carbon.

In the sierras in Mexico in Guerrero we are planting Pawlonia to capture carbon and the World bank gives large subsidies for that,

also coffee is the most recomended bush because it lives beneath the trees ,and forrests are created intead of destroyed for agricultural reasons.

En la region Montaña(parte alta) de Guerrero, los productores siembran un arbol llamado Cuajinicuil, este arbol es de muy rápido crecimiento, se clasica dentro de la familia de las leguminosas por lo que es un exelente fijador de nitrogeno. El arbol es utilizado con exelentes resltados para la sombra del café, además su fruto (vaina) es comestible pues sus semillas estan cuviertas de un material fibroso y muy dulce. Sus semillas son utilizadas tambien como alimento para lo cual estas deben pasar por un proceso de cocimiento (hervidas). La cascara de la vaina se utiliza para alimento del ganado. (Es Arbol perene)

so plant a tree every week,and help us save the world

Answer 2

If you were to ask this about 20 years ago then I would tell you they'd be gone by 2010. Lately, there's been laws and regulations put in place that most lumber companies have to replant trees, and they can only cover a certain area at a time and a certain amount to allow trees to grow faster (since they grow faster when together). I think we'll find other methods to replace building homes with wood and using paper. Basically, I don't think we will ever cut down all the world's forests.

Answer 3

lol im sorry but im with the other guys...never.

even since some are protected.

Answer 4

if my calculations are right im projecting like 1.3 trillion decades.. never u idiot

Answer 5

Check your facts!  We're not cutting trees down as fast as environmental wackos wold have you believe

Answer 6

That depends upon the rate at which they are re-planted...

Answer 7

well in America, and some parts in South America owned by Americans, for every tree we cut down, we plant 2 new ones. so for your answer, never.

Answer 8

If all the trees are cut down there will be no oxygen to breathe so hopefully not soon.

Answer 9

when the high hippies stop nagging

Answer 10

By law they are supposed to plant new ones for every one they cut down, because if they didn't do this our oxgyen supply would run out.

Answer 11

Never, do not believe unsubstantiated hype.  Trees are being cut down in some places like in portions of the Amazon but North America and Europe have more trees now then they did in the fifteenth century.

Answer 12

It is a myth that we are cutting down forests. There are more acres of forest in the US today than 50 years ago, and it is still increasing. There are places, like Brazil, where they are clearing forest to make farm land, but that trend was REVERSED in the U.S. long ago.

Environmentalists complain that the replanted and regrown forests don't count because they are just "tree farms" or are a poor mix of tree types and ages that make poor wildlife habitat, but the fact is that there are actually more trees and not fewer today in the U.S.

Answer 13

~*~I guess when they cut the rest down?~*~

Answer 14

As you would have discovered if you watched the Earth series, most of the world's forest trees are in the arctic. Nobody's cutting them there, so it's unlikely to be completely eliminated.  In addition, in many areas, forests are being regrown.
