1 Unit 8: Global Problems Deforestation, Biodiversity, & Forest Management
2 1. Forests Types & Importance 2. Temperate Deforestation old growth forest, U.S. & Canada 3. Tropical Deforestation clearing & degrading forests, loss of biodiversity 4. Managing Forests management practices, sustainability, reducing deforestation
3 Slightly more than half of forests are in the tropics. The rest are in temperate & boreal zones. More than 60% of forests are in seven countries: Brazil, Russia, Canada, the U.S., China, Indonesia, & Congo. 1. Forests
4 The Problem of Deforestation Estimated annual rates of deforestation During this period tropical forests decreased by 8%. Similar rates of deforestation have continued during the 1990s.
5 Economic Importance of Forests Some of the many useful products obtained from trees. Forests produce more than $300 billion in economic products each year. Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
6 Ecological Importance of Forests Forests play various important ecological roles: regulate the flow of water slow runoff, provide continual recharge of groundwater & streams, reduce soil erosion & stream sediments influence climate increase local precipitation & lower local temperatures vital to carbon cycle take up 90% of carbon fixed by terrestrial ecosystems provide wildlife habitat according to one calculation a typical tree provides $196,250 worth of ecological benefits in its lifetime oxygen, air purification, soil fertility & erosion control, water recycling & humidity control, wildlife habitat Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
7 Estimated Annual Global Economic Values of Ecological Services Provided by Forests
8 2. Temperate Deforestation Since 1600 most of the old growth forests in the lower 48 states have been cleared. Second growth forests grow as the result of secondary succession after forests are cut.
9 Forests Vary in Their Make-Up, Age, and Origins Old-growth or primary forest 36% of world s forests Second-growth forest 60% of world s forests Tree plantation, tree farm or commercial forest 4% of world s forests May supply most of the industrial wood in the future
10 Natural Capital: An Old-Growth Forest and an Old-Growth Tropical Forest
11 Status of U.S. Temperate Forests Today U.S. forests generally bigger & often healthier than in due to reversion of marginal farmlands to forests, planting of tree farms, more efficient use of wood products, recycling, & substitutes for wood products; since 1950 total volume of timber increased 50%; 85 95% of U.S. old growth forests cleared; most remaining old growth forests are in fragmented areas of the northwest.
12 Old Growth Forest Controversy Should old growth forests be cut or preserved? in Pacific northwest requires about 350 years for an old growth forest to reach its prime in terms of growth & biodiversity; timber industry stress economic importance of old growth forests, support more than 100,000 loggers & millworkers; conservationists stress ecological, scientific, aesthetic, & recreational values; environmentalists use the threatened northern spotted owl, which lives almost exclusively in old growth pacific northwest forests, as a means to halt or slow the cutting of old growth forests. Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
13 3. Tropical Deforestation Tropical forests cover about 6% of Earth's land area four countries contain more than half of the world s tropical forests: Brazil, Indonesia, Zaire, & Peru; high biodiversity: tropical forests contain 50 90% of Earth's terrestrial species; economic products: half annual harvest of hardwoods, food (coffee, tea, spices, nuts, chocolate, fruits...), medicines, latex rubber, resins, dyes, essential oils; home & source of resources for indigenous peoples. Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
14 NATURAL CAPITAL DEGRADATION Major Causes of the Destruction and Degradation of Tropical Forests Basic Causes Secondary Causes Not valuing ecological services Crop and timber exports Government policies Poverty Population growth Roads Fires Settler farming Cash crops Cattle ranching Logging Tree plantations Cattle ranching Tree plantations Logging Cash crops Settler farming Roads Fires Stepped Art Fig , p. 225
15 Building Roads into Previously Inaccessible Forests
16 Fuelwood Crisis Scarcity of fuelwood, driven by population growth in developing countries, is one of the major factors causing tropical deforestation. Fig Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
17 Extreme Tropical Deforestation in Thailand
18 About 25% of the world's forests are managed for wood production. Rotations involve a forest management cycle of tree growth & harvest. 4. Managing Forests Fig Brooks/Cole Publishing Company / ITP
19 Rotation Cycle of Cutting and Regrowth of a Monoculture Tree Plantation
20 Unsustainable Logging is a Major Threat to Forest Ecosystems Increased erosion Sediment runoff into waterways Habitat fragmentation Loss of biodiversity
21 (a) Selective cutting (b) Clear-cutting (c) Strip cutting Clear stream Uncut Cut 1 year ago Muddy stream Dirt road Cut 3 10 years ago Uncut Clear stream Stepped Art
22 Clear-Cut Logging in Washington State, U.S.
23 Managing Forests Can forests be managed sustainably? various examples of temperate forests that can be managed sustainably; few examples of tropical forests managed sustainably, except in cases where much of the forest is left intact; sustainable forestry requires knowledge of the type of forest, sufficiently long rotations, & appropriate management (planting, thinning, monitoring ); major difference between forests managed for plantation purposes vs. to maintain ecological integrity.
24 Managing Forests Some ways to decrease tropical deforestation: ecotourism: promoting tourism that benefits from the aesthetic, education, & recreational opportunities provided by intact forest; debt for nature swaps: forgiving foreign debt in exchange for preserving forest; extractive reserves: sustainable harvest of forest products such as nuts, fruits, herbs, spices, oils, medicines, & latex rubber; decreasing the fuelwood crisis: planting fast growing fuelwood trees & shrubs, burning wood more efficiently, & switching to other fuels.
