REFORESTATION
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this written report is to inform the reader about the
|
|
concerns and facts involved with reforestation. Reforestation began in
|
|
Ontario after World War II. What happened was, professional foresters were
|
|
assigned to an area and became responsible for its well being. Under the
|
|
Crown Timber Act, long term management was prepared. Then the many steps
|
|
needed to rebuild a forest began. Included in this report will be
|
|
information on the effects of cutting and replanting, such as Carbon
|
|
Dioxide, and Global Warming. Following this will be methods for planning a
|
|
forest, and how they are conveyed before planting in a forest begins.
|
|
|
|
There are many reasons why forests are cut down. One is to benefit
|
|
economically, with furniture and home building. But there is also another
|
|
reason. Arguments say "the United States could help slow the atmospheric
|
|
accumulation of carbon dioxide by replacing old-growth forests with
|
|
faster-growing young trees". A new study of young and old forests says how
|
|
this is in fact not true. Loggers have said that new trees pull the carbon
|
|
dioxide better than old trees, and this may seem true, but it is not.
|
|
There is one point being overlooked from all of this. The older, larger
|
|
trees can store much, much more carbon dioxide than a new tree could. By
|
|
cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees, the CO2 is being
|
|
released back into the atmosphere. These releases of carbon dioxide add up
|
|
in our surroundings, only to intensify Global Warming. Although this
|
|
shows what happens when one burns and cuts down old forests, one must still
|
|
plant new trees for long term plans, not letting them grow for a few years,
|
|
to then cut them down.
|
|
|
|
There are many methods for planning a forest. The simplest method of
|
|
replanting a forest is to leave it to nature. A suitable seed bed in which
|
|
trees will readily take root is integral for successful regeneration.
|
|
Reducing competition by eliminating grass, weed or shrubs is another
|
|
requirement in securing a new crop of trees. These will sprout to produce
|
|
seedlings. Though the weeds were eliminated before, they still grow back,
|
|
and because of this poor, quality trees will grow. Another method though,
|
|
is to create a planned forest, where new conifers are grown from seed in a
|
|
special nursery. Seeding is a reforestation technique used mainly in the
|
|
Boreal forest area where fire or logging tends to leave no or very little
|
|
seeds for growth. In specific cases, Ministry staff seed the area with
|
|
treated tree seeds. Following this is the planting. In many cases,
|
|
planting is the only means of initiating a new forest. Up to 80 000 000
|
|
trees are planted annually in Ontario on Crown and private land. Usually
|
|
immature forests have to be tended to. Once situated, a new crop needs
|
|
intermittent care for the next 60 to 100 years. This means continuing
|
|
protection from fires, disease and insects and routine thinning to focus
|
|
the growth on selected crop trees.
|
|
|
|
Before a forest can be grown, certain procedures must first occur.
|
|
Collecting and processing seeds is one of them. Tree flowers fertilized by
|
|
blowing winds or insects generate seed, in a time of somewhere within 1 to
|
|
2 years. Seed collecting from the woods must be timed with periodically
|
|
occurring good seed years. Angus, near Barrie, is where all forest tree
|
|
seed collection is co-ordinated. Stock of seeds can value up to $500 000.
|
|
Usually this is around 3 billion seeds from 59 tree classes.
|
|
|
|
In summary of the aforesaid, trees are very valuable to the human race
|
|
economically and for health. Without trees the environment could worsen to
|
|
the point where we would be living on one large dessert. We must remember
|
|
that forest do not grow as easily as they used to because of fires and
|
|
other disasters. This is why many forests are planned, and cared for.
|
|
Most of us will never now how they turn out because for a forest to
|
|
completely grow, it needs within anywhere from 60 to 100 years or more.
|
|
|
|
There are many reasons why we should have reforestation. One being
|
|
mostly that we need forest to live! Without forests, or any type of plant,
|
|
the carbon cycle can't result. There are not many arguments against
|
|
reforestation, but there can be some opposition for the land being used
|
|
between a large business company and the Ministry. I feel replanting of
|
|
forests is very crucial to the human race. The earth depends on many
|
|
cycles, where one organism depends on the other because of what it does.
|
|
We, exhale carbon dioxide which the trees take in, while they give off
|
|
vital oxygen.
|
|
|
|
In closing, we live in an age of technology, leaving behind us the
|
|
past. With the past we are forgetting forests; we must make sure this
|
|
doesn't happen.
