Forest Reports Samples For Students

REDD+ stands for, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. REDD+ is a current program that identifies some of the challenges facing forest protection within major African countries. The program aims at eradicating global warming and reducing greenhouse gases within the continent. Some of the primary challenges facing REDD+ are poor cooperation from member countries, inadequate land for reforestation, high demand for land for settlement, and more so, an increasing demand for timber and timber products.
Development of water infrastructure has increased utilization of water resources within the African continent over the last decade. Additionally, that program facilitates efficient ...

Distinguishing Two Forest Communities in North Jersey by Tree Density, Species, Dominance, Importance, Diversity and Richness

Abstract
This is a study undertaken to compare and contrast richness, dominance and importance of sixteen tree species between two tree communities. The sixteen tree species have been listed in the appendix at the end of this paper. This study is a continuation of what was done earlier by ecology students in their previous year of study. The methods applied are absolutely the same, in order to make collected data comparable with each other. The three specific factors studies are relative dominance, relative density, and relative importance of the species occurring in these two forest areas.

Average (mean) trees diameter

The difference between the diameter of Doghair Thicket and semi-restored is as a result of difference in the elasticity of the stem tissues. It means that on the experiment the tissues of Doghair thicket were more as compared to semi restore. It therefore recorded a high average. On other experiment, the data collected indicates that the semi- restored has high average. This implies that semi-restored has more stem tissues which facilitate or rather enhances its variation in diameter. Another major factor that determine the stem-diameter of the stems of the Doghair thicket and the semi-restored includes the contented of water present ...

Reducing the population growth rate is possible. The World Watch Institute highlighted that with universal access to safe and effective contraceptives for both sexes, the pregnancies would reduce significantly, and consequently the population. Besides, expansion access of secondary education would also lead to population decrease because of delayed marriage and increased knowledge on the use of contraceptives. Moreover, offering age-appropriate sex education could help reduce the rate of population growth because the children would adopt birth controls at early stages or make informed choices. It follows that adopting methods of reducing the population would lead to a decrease in ...

Baghouse filters are fabric filter units consisting of one or more isolated sections containing an array of fabric bags (Vatavuk, 1998). Shapes of these bags range from round, flat, tube-shaped, to pleated cartridges. In theory, gas containing high particulate matter level passes through the fabric bag surface. The particulate matter is retained while the cleaned gas is either recycled to the process or vented off the exhaust. This paper attempts to discuss the different concepts behind baghouse filters in relation to environmental engineering. Specifically, this paper discusses (a) particle pollution, (b) baghouse filter principle, (c) filter media selection, (d) types of ...

- Introduction:
Human activity has greatly affected ground water levels over the last 200 years. Ground water has been an important aspect of human, plant and animal survival. However, human activity is quickly depleting ground water reserves through the digging wells. Water from wells is being used for industrialization, farming, settlement, and deforestation. This depletion of fresh water aquifers has led to the ocean water moving into the underground water reserves. This has greatly reduced the amount of fresh water available.
- Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome

Human activity has impacts on the sustainability of groundwater
