A forest is an area with a high density of treespuvakrish
Forests cover approximately 9.4% of the Earth's surface and function as important habitats and regulators of hydrologic and soil processes. Forests are classified based on factors like climate, leaf longevity, and dominant tree species. The major forest biomes include tropical rainforests, boreal forests, and temperate deciduous forests. Forest management aims to balance ecological, social and economic values through sustainable practices. Approximately 20% of the original forests remain intact, with the largest tracts located in Russia, Canada, and Brazil.
Forests first evolved around 380 million years ago with the tree-like fern Archaeopteris. Forests now cover approximately 30% of the Earth's land and perform up to 75% of the planet's gross primary productivity. A forest contains both living and non-living components and is made up of different layers including the forest floor, understory, canopy, and sometimes emergent layer. Forests range from closed canopy forests to more open woodlands and savannas.
Forests cover a third of our planet's land.
They provide raw materials, maintain biodiversity, protect land and water resources, and play a role in climate change mitigation.
Forests are heavily exploited, but important efforts are being made to use and manage them more sustainably.
What is the current state of the world's forests?

Lesson 3 Ecosystem for gclass.pptx for 2nd year srudentsmanelynpanoy1
This document discusses different types of terrestrial ecosystems. It begins by defining a terrestrial ecosystem as a land-based community of interacting living and non-living components in a specific environment. It then describes four main types of terrestrial ecosystems: forests, grasslands, tundra, and deserts. For each ecosystem type, it provides details on characteristic species, environments, and subtypes. The document emphasizes that terrestrial ecosystems support diverse plant and animal life and are found across different regions of the world.
High Biodiversity its implications and effectsjd168096
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.
Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species.
Scientists are interested in how much biodiversity there is on a global scale, given that there is still so much biodiversity to discover. They also study how many species exist in single ecosystems, such as a forest, grassland, tundra, or lake. A single grassland can contain a wide range of species, from beetles to snakes to antelopes. Ecosystems that host the most biodiversity tend to have ideal environmental conditions for plant growth, like the warm and wet climate of tropical regions. Ecosystems can also contain species too small to see with the naked eye. Looking at samples of soil or water through a microscope reveals a whole world of bacteria and other tiny organisms.
Some areas in the world, such as areas of Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, the southwestern United States, and Madagascar, have more biodiversity than others. Areas with extremely high levels of biodiversity are called hotspots. Endemic species—species that are only found in one particular location—are also found in hotspots.
All of the Earth’s species work together to survive and maintain their ecosystems. For example, the grass in pastures feeds cattle. Cattle then produce manure that returns nutrients to the soil, which helps to grow more grass. This manure can also be used to fertilize cropland. Many species provide important benefits to humans, including food, clothing, and medicine.
Much of the Earth’s biodiversity, however, is in jeopardy due to human consumption and other activities that disturb and even destroy ecosystems. Pollution, climate change, and population growth are all threats to biodiversity. These threats have caused an unprecedented rise in the rate of species extinction. Some scientists estimate that half of all species on Earth will be wiped out within the next century. Conservation efforts are necessary to preserve biodiversity and protect endangered species and their habitats.
The document discusses the importance of protecting and conserving tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs. It notes that tropical rainforests are home to a high biodiversity of plants and animals, produce a significant portion of the earth's oxygen, are a source of medicines, help regulate the water cycle and climate, and prevent soil erosion. Several classroom activities are suggested to teach students about these ecosystems, including creating models, role playing, designing creatures, and developing educational campaigns. Ways to conserve these areas include reforestation, establishing protected areas and reserves, promoting ecotourism, implementing environmental laws, and informing others.
Tropical rainforests are the richest habitats on Earth, containing over half of the world's plant and animal species in only 6% of the Earth's land. They are being destroyed at a rate of 70 acres per minute through deforestation for agriculture and grazing land. Every year, an area the size of Wisconsin is lost or damaged. Tips to help prevent further deforestation include planting trees, limiting paper usage, using recycled paper products, and raising awareness about the impacts of deforestation.
This document outlines key concepts about ecosystems and conservation. It begins by stating learning objectives around identifying ecosystem components, relationships between living and non-living things, biomes, and conservation methods. Key terms are defined, like ecology, relationships in food webs and chains. Components of ecosystems are explained as biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living). Relationships between organisms, like predation, competition and mutualism are described. Biomes like aquatic, grassland and forests are characterized. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of conservation and preservation efforts, and providing examples of organizations working on environmental issues.
The document discusses forests and forest management. It defines a forest according to the FAO and notes that forests cover about one-third of the global land area. It then discusses forest resources and their various uses including commercial, ecological, and for tribal communities. The document outlines strategies for sustainable forest management including maintaining forest land and biodiversity. It also discusses India's forest statistics, laws and regulations related to forestry in India including the Indian Forest Act of 1927 and the Forest Conservation Act of 1980.

Forests cover approximately one-third of the Earth's surface and can be categorized into three main types: tropical, temperate, and boreal. Tropical forests are located near the equator and experience high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year. Temperate forests are located between tropical and boreal regions and experience four distinct seasons. Alpine forests are located in mountainous regions above 3,000 meters and are characterized by harsh conditions with low temperatures and poor soil quality. Forests play a crucial role in regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and providing resources to humans. Conservation efforts aim to protect forests for current and future generations.
There are 6 main ecosystems: ocean, desert, tundra, forest, grasslands, and wetlands. The ocean covers 72% of the Earth's surface and contains deep sea and kelp forest areas. Deserts cover over 1/5 of the Earth and have little rain, making them extremely hot in summer and warm otherwise. Tundras are located in the northernmost parts of the Earth and are cold, vast, and treeless. Forests include tropical and temperate rainforests found near the equator and coastal areas. Grasslands have different types depending on rainfall and grass height. Wetlands include marshes, swamps, and peatlands with varying amounts of open water, vegetation, and soil
This document provides information about different types of forests and reforestation. It discusses 7 main types of forests: 1) Temperate needleleaf, 2) Temperate broadleaf and mixed, 3) Tropical moist, 4) Tropical dry, 5) Sparse trees and parkland, 6) Tropical forest types. It then provides more details on each forest type. The document also discusses reforestation, including management techniques, using reforestation for timber harvesting, mitigating climate change, incentives for reforestation, and examples of reforestation projects.
This document discusses the major types of ecosystems. It defines terrestrial ecosystems as land ecosystems like grasslands, deserts, and forests. Aquatic ecosystems are divided into freshwater ecosystems found in lakes, rivers, and wetlands, and marine ecosystems found in oceans. Some key points made are:
- Terrestrial ecosystems are differentiated based on dominant plant life and climate factors. Examples given are deserts, grasslands, and forests.
- Aquatic ecosystems include freshwater habitats like lakes and rivers, as well as marine habitats like coral reefs and coastal wetlands.
- Ecosystems maintain a balance and ecological succession between living and non-living elements. Human activities can disrupt this balance, threatening wildlife conservation
The document summarizes the causes and effects of deforestation. It notes that around 11,000 years ago, 60% of the Earth was covered in forests but now only 1/5 remains due to clearing for various uses. Deforestation results in damage to habitats and biodiversity loss. It disrupts the water cycle and causes issues like soil erosion, flooding, and drought. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are also released into the atmosphere from burned or rotting trees. Reforestation efforts are needed to mitigate the effects of deforestation.
Temperate deciduous forests are typically located in mid-latitude areas between 25° and 50° in both hemispheres, characterized by distinct seasons. They contain a variety of plant and animal species adapted to seasonal changes and have highly productive ecosystems. However, human activities like logging, invasive species, and overgrazing have significantly reduced forest coverage in some areas. Conservation efforts in places like the U.S. and Haiti aim to restore and protect these forests through reforestation programs and sustainable management practices.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. English Lesson Plan
Previous knowledge :
In order to check the previous knowledge of students, the teacher will
ask questions such as, I will ask a simple question about the forests,
diversity of trees, and diversity of species are discuss with students to
check the previous knowledge.
Announcing the topic :
Dear students, Today we are going to learn about “forest”
Presentation: teacher Will deliver a lecture on A forest which is an area
of land dominated by trees. Hundreds of definitions of forest are used
throughout the world incorporating factors such as tree density, tree
height, land use, legal standing, and ecological function.
The Food and Agriculture Organization defines a forest as land
spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a
canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these
thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is predominantly under
agricultural or urban land use. Using this definition found that forests
covered 4.06 billion hectares or approximately 31 percent of the global
land area but are not equally distributed around the globe.
Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem of Earth and are
distributed around the globe. More than half of the world's forests are
4. found in only five countries Brazil, Canada, China, the Russian
Federation, and the United States of America. The largest part of the
forest 45 percent is found in the tropical domain followed by the boreal
temperate and subtropical domains. Forests account for 75% of the
gross primary production of the Earth's biosphere and contain 80% of
the Earth's plant biomass.
Net primary production is estimated at 21.9 gigatons of carbon per
year for tropical forests 8.1 for temperate forests and 2.6 for boreal
forests. Forests at different latitudes and elevations and with different
precipitation and evapotranspiration form distinctly different biomes
boreal forests around the North Pole tropical moist forests and tropical
dry forests around the Equator and temperate forests at the middle
latitudes.
Higher elevation areas tend to support forests similar to those at
higher latitudes, and the amount of precipitation also affects forest
composition. Almost half the forest area 49 percent is relatively intact
while 9 percent is found in fragments with little or no connectivity.
Tropical rainforests and boreal coniferous forests are the least
fragmented whereas subtropical dry forests and temperate oceanic
forests are among the most fragmented.
Summative evaluation:
5. At the end of this lesson, I will discuss the biomass, diversity, and
temperature of the forest with students Students to develop and apply
problem-solving and research skills. A well-trained teacher delivers
lesson plans but it is now the responsibility of students to apply their
skills to prove problem-solving.
it depends on students' ability how to do step-by-step questioning
which they missed or are not possible to understand, here also the
main Factor involves the mental approach. A lesson complete guide to
