Question

What happen in environment in the future,if forest is cleared ?

Answer 1

are you serious with out trees tyhere is no Environment ,what will we breathe ,,the sun would burn this planet ,if there were no clouds              

      TREES

APART FROM THE FACT THAT EXOTIC FORREST STILL CONTAIN COUNTLESS MYSTERIES OF MEDICINAL VALUE.

they are also the prime factors responsible for the climate that is suitable for human ocupation.

and we have proven (in south africa,Europe,Mexico,USA,and just about every where else)that the forrest are far more valuable in terms of Eco-tourism than for example farming or timber(which has a very short lived value).

TREES leave us OXIGEN and ABSORB CARBON,when in growth

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.

plants take in carbon dioxide period they dont take in oxigen at night.

they require carbon dioxide and release oxigen.

in the autemn there is an excess of carbon released because of the dead organic material ,the seas and waters when cool absorb this,in the spring when the new growth requires carbo the warmer waters release it ,so in con junction with the seas and rivers the bio mass on this planet maintains a balanced atmosphere for us to breathe.

now with the mass deforrestation(decrease in bio mass)coupled to the increase in carbon emissions,industrial chimneys,aerosol cans,motor cars,burning of plastics and tires to name but a few ,the carbon production by far exeeds what the bio-mass and the waters can handle,and so effect into global warming and the destruction of the ozone layers,

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 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 ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,

and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.

DEFORRESTATION if it continues ,is that we could end up looking like Mars.Without an atmosphere ,without water,without air,with out life

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.

these are some of the reasons why trees are important.plant a tree every week,and help us save the world

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 most 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.

Bad agricultural practises is turning vast teritories into desserts ,because of over grazing and the exessive pumping of carbon aquifiers ,the surface aquifiers already having been depleted.

And the use of fertilisers and heavy machinery that compacts the ground which raises the salt in the soil.

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

farmers are forced to cultivate highly erodable lands, to keep up with the growing demand for food.an extra 70 million people each year and this is increasing

the world population has doubled in the last 50 years the fasted increase ever since the first homo sapian. Source(s) http://spaces.msn.com/byderule

Answer 2

First,probably would be a lowering of oxygen in the atmosphere. There would be much less rain, as the forested areas help act as a 'sponge', gathering and releasing water vapor. Later, not sure how much, but not long, the reduced rainfall would cause desert areas to increase in size and severity while creating new ones. Fertile areas with enough rainfall to sustain crops would drastically decrease, leading to great starvation. finally, somewhere in that mess, temperatures would rise because with less cloud cover more sunlight would land on areas that, now cleared of insulating forest would absorb more heat, even if the sunlight remained as it is. How far this effect would snowball, I can't say, but it would be GREATLY detrimental to life as we know it for sure

Answer 3

We don't need to look into the future to see the effects. take a look @ South America. Millions of acres have been cleared for dairy farm land and to create Pine tree farms for the logging industry. The thing, these crops will not grow in this climate.

What is left is scorched earth. Now the rain forests wont grow back and thousands of native species of both plant and animals have been wiped out.

On top of this, a large amount of oxygen is no longer being produced. This is causing drastic weather changes to the earth as well as increased pollution.

Just a few of the problems that are evident as of now!

Answer 4

Take a look at what happens after trees are felled, at least in the Amazon. People fell trees to farm, but the soil there is so poor (yes, poor, amazingly enough) that the crops don't grow well for more than a few seasons, and so the farmers move on after a while, and fell some more trees. But what about the now useless farmland? The Amazon takes it back over! I don't think trees will ever become extinct.
