Wildlife biologists used a novel technique to trace the movement of carbon through Arctic and boreal forest food webs and found that climate warming resulted in a shift from plant-based food webs to ... Phys.org: Converting rainforest to plantation impacts food webs and biodiversity, study finds The conversion of rainforest into plantations erodes and restructures food webs and fundamentally changes the way these ecosystems function, according to a new study published in Nature. The findings ...

Understanding the Context

Mongabay: Māori knowledge shows climate change domino effects on forest food chains Forest team partners with a real-tree-planting organization, Trees for the Future, to plant real trees on the earth. When our users spend virtual coins they earn in Forest on planting real trees, Forest team donates our partner and create orders of planting. A forest is a complex ecological system in which trees are the dominant life-form. A forest is nature’s most efficient ecosystem, with a high rate of photosynthesis affecting both plant and animal systems in a series of complex organic relationships.

Key Insights

Total recorded forest land in the state is 11,879 sq.km., of which 7,054 sq.km. is Reserved Forest, 3,772 sq.km. is Protected Forest and 1,053 sq.km. is Unclassed State Forest, thus constituting 13.38% of the geographical area of the state. Our little blue planet is actually pretty green.

Final Thoughts

Almost a third of the Earth’s land is covered by forest - large areas dominated by trees that are home to an abundance of plants and animals. Common to areas near the equator, such as Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. There are three types of forests: boreal, temperate, and tropical. On a global scale, forests are shaped by the amount of solar radiation and precipitation, both of which are influenced by...
