Tree Plantations
Introduction For over 10,000 years, man has been the greatest factor affecting biodiversity through habitat destruction and fragmentation, overexploitation and pollution. With an ever increasing population and human activities, man is consuming more and more natural resources by increasing the use of energy, fuel, and production of consumer products that are not necessarily needed. Man is very egotistic and believes that he owns everything that he has discovered; using most of the natural resources for self aggrandizement, without due considerations to the environment, ecology and other species that can only survive in their natural habitat.
However, men are more inconsiderate than others about other organisms and the environment. In some places, some work hard to make changes into their lifestyles and lessen their impact on the environment to help preserve biodiversity by recycling some of the products, planting a tree, lessening the use of pesticides on their crops, and many more eco-friendly activities. In the course of this report I will be focusing on what tree plantation is, the advantages and disadvantages of tree plantations and how tree plantations can be used for our future benefits.
What is Tree Plantations?
Tree plantation, also known as reforestation or afforestation, is a process of transplanting tree seedlings generally for forestry, land reclamation, or landscaping purposes. It involves planting seedlings over an area of land where de-forestation has taken place by human activities such as harvesting or by natural phenomenon such as erosion, fire, disease or insects. Tree planting is carried out in many different parts of the world, and strategies may differ widely across nations and regions and among individual reforestation companies since the structure of
