what is a forest and what is its use?

A forest is a large area of trees.\n\n- It provides a habitat for a large range of flora and fauna.\n- The wood in forests can be used by people for building etc.\n- The photosynthesis (http://www.scienceaid.co.uk/plantnutrition.html ) of plants provides vital oxygen for our planet by converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.  Therefore more forests would reduce global warming.

Many of the largest forests are undiscovered. Scientists are discovering new species of plants, animals, and insects all the time. It's only a matter of time before a new disease is discovered that humans have not come upon in the forests yet.\n\nDeep areas of the oceans have yet to be discovered, too. In both cases the surface area so large it will still take years and years to compile enough data to know what is where.

Slash and burn allows people to take temporary profit from the rainforest but at the sacrifice of thousands of years of evolution and natural development.  There have probably been hundreds of cures for cancer that will never have a chance because those species that had it are gone.\n\nGoing, going, gone.\n\nIf the rich of the world would help the poor they wouldn't need to slash and burn the forests.

First off forests don't produce oxygen, that is one of those science factoids that everybody knows and thatis completely without basis. See the link below.\n\nForestry is important because it produce wood and wood pulp for parer. It also provides an ecnomic incentive for maintaining area sof managed wilderness and plantation forest that provide essential environmental services such as wildlife habitat and water regulation.

Forests: lumberjack, hunter, ranger, charcoal burner, owner of rubber plantation, collector of plants,\n\nWild life: park ranger, hunter, photographer, safari guide, collector of wild food such as truffles, \n\nI hope this list helps a bit!

Some woods spark because they have other components in them.  Its not natural of course, but things get put in the wood by birds or bugs, as well as the components of the earth the tree grows in.

A quiet forest is my retreat.  I love trees.  I love to be surrounded by trees.\nThe air is cleaner and I can breath.  There is a place I like to go to where\nI am all alone.  It seems like it boosts my energy level.  Trees and birds\nare what I need.

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.

deforestation. It is the only forest of its type in the world, and it is receding at an alarming rate. it used to span around the globe, and now is 1/3 its original size. Many animals use this as its only habitat. deforestation causes loss of animal habitat as well. This forest is similar to the rain forest, it can't be reproduced quickly. once it is gone another forest like it will be millions of years to recreate.

Forest and the trees perform a lot of functions to receive more rains. There is always evaporation of water vapour from the leaves which will become clouds and then precipitate into rain during the night or at cool climate.  The climate becomes almost cool during night time and cause the rain.  All passing clouds are interrupted by the tall trees and cause rainfall because of the cool climate there.\nThe humidity in the air in forest areas also cause more clouds and also cool climate.  It is almost cyclical. The soil becomes more fertile because of the leaves, animals and insects and helps more plants.

An effort buy a group of people or a government to protect, very old, large, dense forests.    Protecting them from disease, man's progress etc.\n\nSo you have a place to go and enjoy nature....without spawling apartment complexes everywhere.\n\n\nKick off your shoes and go run through the woods!  Enjoy!

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