Advantage and disadvantage of :
1.Replacing a wild woodland with commercial timber plantation?
(Answer this for me Guys,this is biology)
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This practice gives us access to the products we use every day.
Farming, livestock grazing, drilling, and mining activities are responsible for over 50% of all deforestation activities today. In places like Indonesia and Malaysia, farmers are replacing the trees of the forest with groves that can produce palm oil. That means we all have access to affordable products that include saltine crackers and shampoo because of these efforts. Soy plantations in the Amazon exist because of this activity. Despite the potential changes to the environment that occur, new plantings can help to mitigate the harvests that occur.
2. We have access to paper and wood products because of deforestation.
Although deforestation practices are not solely responsible for our paper and wood products, the actions of timber companies give us access to these needed items. Access roads that go into the remote forests make it possible to thin out some of the trees without harming the overall biome as well. Sustainable practices that encourage profits and usability without the need for full clearcutting is possible with proper management techniques. Some individuals and companies may not practice that agenda, but there are times when deforestation simply leads to a new forest being planted.

3. It creates an economic benefit that some communities need for survival.
There are more than 250 million people who live in the savannahs and forest areas where the activities of deforestation are essential to their survival. Many of the families who live in those biomes are some of the poorest people in the world today. Although 80% of the plants and land animals on our planet live in the forests, the disruptions are permitted because the alternative means placing even more sacrifices on those who already have so little. Billions of dollars in the import-export market exist because of the logging activities and agricultural outcomes that are possible because of this practice.
4. We can create more usable land for a growing population.
The kids of the 1980s will be in their 70s when the world’s population is expected to reach 10 billion people for the first time. That number is expected to place a lot of pressure on our natural resources. Scientists have legitimate concerns about our abilities to distribute food, have access to fresh water, and provide living space to all of those people. Deforestation may not be the preferred method of expansion, but it will give us a way to make more land usable for agricultural or urban purposes.
5. Logging jobs aren’t the only ones that deforestation activities support.
There are tens of thousands of jobs available today, many of them which provide a high local standard or living, because of the effects of deforestation. We can extract natural gas and oil from these rich lands to meet our energy needs. Miners have access to precious metals like gold and silver, and there are minerals which are accessible in these areas as well. The revenues from these operations help to support the local economy as well. If agencies were to plant new trees for the ones that they take out, then the impact of many potential disadvantages would be significantly reduced.
6. We have an opportunity to discover new species.
Because of the research opportunities that developed due, in part, to the actions of deforestation, we have discovered tens of thousands of new species in the rainforest biome since the 1950s. There have been thousands of new animals discovered during that time as well, along with almost countless new insects. Scientists recently explored a rainforest located in Mount Lico and found a new species of butterfly, an unclassified mouse species, and have the expectation to find much more.
