Although some tropical forests are deciduous, most tropical trees are considered evergreen because their leaves are not shed simultaneously at a certain season; however, they are believed to drop and renew their leaves sporadically each year. Even though they cover only 7% of the earth's landmass, about one half of the planet's species live there. The temperate hardwood forests of North America, Europe, and Asia are marked by seasonal rainfall distribution. The trees, typically species of beech, maple, ash, oak, elm, and basswood, are deciduous but are often mixed with conifers , especially in areas of poorer soil. The temperate hardwood forests overlap the boreal, or northern, conifer forest belts, which encircle the earth in the subarctic and cool, temperate regions south of the treeless tundra . The vegetation is typically fir and spruce in northern regions and at higher altitudes, and pine, larch, and hemlock in southern regions and at lower altitudes. In transitional areas, especially where there is a pronounced season without rain (e.g., the

Creative Resistance Search Home British Columbia Canada US World Finding Strength ... Communitas Awareness BACK BC / Awareness/ Forestry / Cuts - Jobs - Government Cutbacks putting B.C. forests, environment at risk Source: National Union of Public and General Employees (BCGEU) Vancouver - B.C.'s forests and environment are at risk because of massive cutbacks in staff and resources by the provincial government, says the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union. A BCGEU survey, released June 15, concludes that the men and women responsible for provincial forests can no longer manage and protect them adequately. The potential of revenue loss to the province is also higher than it was five years ago, the survey found. "Our forests are the lifeblood of many communities, and the backbone of B.C.'s economy. And yet opposition parties, and the large corporations that harvest our forests, are continually demanding more government spending cuts," said BCGEU President George Heyman. "The cuts we have seen to date are a threat to the public interest - to our environment, to the health of our working forests, and to the future strength of our economy. Our survey of BCGEU members who work in the Ministry of Forests reveals some deeply troubling information about the government's inability to protect and manage our province's most vital natural resource." Since 1996, front-line staff in the Ministry of Forests has been cut by 10% and the overall ministry budget has been slashed by 30%. Cumulative budget cuts to the forests and environment ministries total more than $1 billion.

Swamps are important element of this reserve. The total area of swamps is around 5 thousand hectares, that is 22% of the total area of the reserve. Polis'kyi Reserve plays an important role in forecasting changes caused by land amelioration program conducted in 60-70's. The reserve protects 20 plant and 14 animal species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Contacts: Sergiy Mykolaiovych Zhyla Polis'kyi Zapovidnyk 11100, s. Selezinka, Ovruts'kyi Rayon

Forests Forest Health Land Use Management Back to Main... ... Forest Health In the boreal forest, there are many factors that affect the dynamic nature of the forest ecosystem through creating disturbances. These include insects, fungi, microorganisms, and some plants and animals, both native and non-native species. Saskatchewan Environment carefully monitors and, when appropriate, manages these, always with the objective of maintaining the long term health of the forest. Forest Land Use Planning How we all see forest lands varies considerably. We see it: as a place to hunt, hike and fish; as an essential ecosystem for our healthy environment; as a precious habitat requiring protection; or as timber resources, mineral resources, fuel, manufacturing, and exports. All of these are important visions of the forest that can be part of a land use plan. Forest Management Saskatchewan, a prairie province, is more than 50 percent forests. Management of the forest addresses how we maintain or enhance the health and integrity of these ecosystems including The Forest Resources Management Act and other legislative processes.
