Explanation:
Fauna and flora upset by forest fires
Forest fires increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change. In addition, ashes destroy much of the nutrients and erode the soil, causing flooding and landslides.
Explanation:
the other concern people have is the effect on forests from harvesting wood to burn.
While it is true that some short-sighted people might clear cut a woodlot for a quick short term profit, that’s not standard practice.
Most people responsible for wood lots manage them for the long term. An actively managed forest can actually be a more vibrant and attractive ecosystem than one left alone.
For example, three trees may be growing too close together for all of them to do well as mature trees. When a forester selects the weakest appearing two to harvest for firewood, the remaining tree thrives and the forest is healthier for it.
The motivation for this isn’t altruistic. The remaining tree will be more valuable for lumber in the future.
Not all firewood is harvested specifically to be burned. Trees taken down by maintenance crews and tree surgeons are used as firewood. Much of this would wind up in a landfill if not used as firewood.
