*aka “the woods”*
.
(a forest is a large area dominated by ‘trees’)
.
(hundreds of more precise definitions of ‘forest’ are used throughout the world, incorporating factors such as ‘tree density’, ‘tree height’, ‘land use’, ‘legal standing’, and ‘ecological function’)
(according to the widely used “food and agriculture organization” definition, ‘forests’ covered 4 billion ‘hectares’ (’15 million square miles’) or approximately 30% of the world’s land area in 2006)
(‘forests’ are the dominant ‘terrestrial ecosystem’ of ‘earth’, and are distributed across the globe.
(forests account for 75% of the gross primary productivity of the Earth’s biosphere, and contain 80% of the Earth’s plant biomass)
(‘forests’ at different latitudes and elevations form distinctly different ecozones: boreal forests near the poles, tropical forests near the equator and temperate forests at mid-latitudes)
(higher elevation areas tend to support forests similar to those at higher latitudes, and amount of precipitation also affects forest composition)
(human society and forests influence each other in both positive and negative ways)
(‘forests’ provide ecosystem services to humans and serve as tourist attractions)
(‘forests’ can also affect people’s health)
.
(human activities – including harvesting forest resources – can negatively affect ‘forest eco-systems’)
