Question

What will be the effect of the development of forests?

Answer 1

 of Yongin City, Gyunggi Province, South Korea, the relationship between development and forest-patch characteristics and that between development and bird biodiversity were observed and analyzed. As four development projects progressed over a 13-year period (1990–2003), Landsat images showed how a continuous forest was reduced and fragmented and how isolated forests either shrank or disappeared. The ratio of the edge area to the forested area changed also and reflected the stages of the four development projects. A single continuous forest patch was studied, and it showed fragmentation and a reduction in size over time associated with the development projects. The effect of the later developments on adjacent forested areas was much greater than the effect of the initial development. As expected, the initial development affected the forested area near the initial development, but the later developments also significantly affected the same area near the initial development. Bird population characteristics—numbers of individuals and species (biodiversity)—were analyzed using field observations at nine sites in both continuous and isolated forest areas.

Answer 2

The effects of the development of forests are as follows:

           Forests are an integral and important part of the environment. But they are also one of the most mismanaged resources. This is because the forests are severely underrated in some countries.

There are huge impacts of forest growth-

• Biotic Environment: The growth of forests also indicate the growth of organisms, and it benefits the entire growth of the abiotic environment.

• General Precipitation: The growth of forests have effects on relative humidity of the air.

• Influence on Soil: This have huge  beneficial effects on increasing fertility of the land by adding nutrients

• Pollution: Forests produce huge amounts of oxygen. Naturally having huge preventive effects on Air, Water and Noise Pollution.
