How many trees are felled in the Amazonian Rainforest (i dont mind if its in days months etc.)?
84591
5.4 million acres per year (estimate averaged for period 1979-1990)

Unfortunately, the world needs to come to grips with the fact that Brazil will continue to log rain forest in the Amazon and convert land into low-output farm or range lands.  Tropical rainforest soils are very low in nutrients and threir conversion has serious, probably global, consequences.  There seems to be a pretty good consensus about the problem, but it's not just a simple matter of "big corporations" (they play their part) and a ruined environment.\n\nBesides the big corporations logging, there are a host of small companies that selectively log the most valuable trees.  This has caused the "under count" by many thousands of acres of logged land. (ref. 1)  Often once an area is opened up even in a rudimentary way, subistence "slash and burn" farmers follow, often causing large regional fires. (ref. 2) These are very poor, often uneducated, people who see few alternatives to their life style.  Eventualy, the depleted land often ends up in large ranches.  Those who even try to regulate logging do so at considerable risk as the profits from logging and land conversion are huge.(ref. 3).  Last year saw the worst drought in memory in the Amazon, showing that the environment may have reaced a point of no return. (ref.4)\n\nTo this person, there is no easy solution.  Brazil is a poor country where many of the people live on less than $2 a day.  Nobody has the authority to tell them to stop logging other than the Brazilian government, and even then it is doubtful that such a ban could be enforced given the poverty and lawless conditions in the Amazon.  It's like telling the Columbian's to stop growing coca - the US has spent millions on that effort with little effect.  The solution (if there is one) is to end the demand for tropical hardwood, because it's not just Brazil but every tropical forest that is disappearing fast.  This means providing people with an alternate way to make a living.  The developed world needs to spend the money to give the workers in the Amazon (and other extraction-based poor countries) decent life choices that are sustainable along with a stake in a better world.  I invite you to visit the one.org website which discusses their campaign to do just this. (www.one.org).  Actions speak louder than words.  I have given my favorite organizations site as the last reference, but there are many working for global equity and justice.  Environmental problems in developing countries simply cannot be addressed about without dealing with issues of poverty, disease, and lack of education.

lol \n\nu would have to figure out, at least, how much CO2 a "common" rainforest tree can remove as they would remove the most CO2 not saying that other foliage would be insignificant. then figure out spacing between those trees. i think from that point you can figure out just how many square meters of rainforest it would take to remove a ton of CO2. \n\nthen, figure out a percent at which the surrounding foliage would assist in the removal of CO2. shrink the total area by that percent to get a more realistic size.

Well it's in the tropics.  It rains a lot.  And it's a forest.  Hmmm... Not sure.

It is called a rain forest because at the end of the day you will find that it will always rain. The sun heats the earth and warms the air above it. As it rises it cools and forms clouds. By the time this has happened it is the end of the day and it starts to pour down. The sun only heats the earth to a temperature high enough near the equator because that part is nearest the sun. You won't find this happening anywhere else except the equator and so you don't find tropical rainforests anywhere esle.

TREES... LOTS AND LOTS OF TREES

B.  Tropical rain Forest.\n\nTemperate is north and south of subtropical/tropical.\n\nBoreal forest is coniferous forests.\n\nTundra is what you'd find near the arctic circle.

Difference between rainforest and which one? \nProbably the habitat, no. of trophic levels

hey, go to www.Wikipedia.com   type in "Renewable Resources of the Rainforest"  it will give u thousands of things to pick from. Wikipedia is the best for homework and research. Good Luck.

too many, the last one was in rainforest - costa rica. rained for days. my balcony over look the jungle floor. i was drinking their finest rum. watching bats hiding behind the palm leafs and armadillos looking for food below. in the canapy, i can see squirrel monkeys foraging

(m)\n\nThe Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures; the volume of water it carries to the sea (approximately 20% of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans), the area of land that drains into it, and its length and width. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and, depending upon who you talk to, is anywhere between 6,259km/3,903mi and 6,712km/4,195mi long. \n\nFor the last century the length of the Amazon and the Nile Rivers have been in a tight battle for title of world's longest river. The exact length of the two rivers varies over time and reputable sources disagree as to their actual length. The Nile River in Africa is reported to be anywhere from at 5,499km/3,437mi to 6,690km/4,180mi long. But there is no question as to which of the two great rivers carries the greater volume of water - the Amazon River. \n\nAt its widest point the Amazon River can be 11km/6.8 mi wide during the dry season. The area covered by the Amazon River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square km of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square km. When the flood plains and the Amazon River Basin flood during the rainy season the Amazon River can be up to 40km/24.8 mi wide. Where the Amazon opens at its estuary the river is over 325km/202 mi wide!

A rainforest is a forested biome with high annual rainfall. Tropical rainforests arise due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, but temperate rainforests also exist. As well as prodigious rainfall, many rainforests are characterized by a high number of resident species and tremendous biodiversity.

It could be a stretch of savannah, known in Brazil as "cerrado". \n\nThe Amazon forest that far north presents a few regions where climate and soil conditions differ from the usual Amazon, giving way for vegetation usually associated with the dry weather from the central part of Brazil: shrubs, small trees, grass.\n\nThose pockets of cerrado in the north are even explored in the same way as their southern counterpart: cultivation of soy and coffee.
