Before the arrival of the first Europeans, the forest represented eight hundred thousand hectares of North California cost. This area had been occupied by the Amerindians since three thousand years. During the sixteen century, Spanish, Russians and English explorers frequented the littoral, next to

shortages created by the concentration of landholdings." Mining, industrial development and hydroelectric schemes are also significant causes of deforestation, both in terms of the land they occupy and their displacement of forest people. Dams also open up previously inaccessible forest, spread water-borne diseases and damage downstream ecosystems. They are of benefit mainly to the middle classes and industry. In Brazil, the Grand Carajas Project, a huge milling development to provide cheap raw materials

atmosphere are characterized by large uncertainties. Regional networks were set up to study these CO2 fluxes. In Europe, the CarboEurope-IP network studies the exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. It includes more than 100 sites of forests, croplands or grasslands. This article presents the project “ CO2 flux measurement and carbon balance of agricultural crops ” which was developed in this frame. The main aim of this project is to quantify the CO2 flux evolution of Belgian crops and

• Water: It takes more than 1½ cups of water to make one sheet of paper. • Energy: 40 reams of paper are like 1.5 acres of pine forest absorbing carbon for a year. Trees are also ‘carbon sinks’ and every tree that is not cut down for paper usage is able to absorb C02 gasses. Thus, reducing paper use reduces greenhouse gases. [pic] In 1923, forests covered nearly 60 percent of Haiti; today they cover less than 2 percent. Haiti’s deforestation has been the result of population’s need

I remember this dream I kept on doing, with this house crawling down the hill, down to the river and me standing outside, staring, without talking nor screaming. I'm just there. But what struck me the most is this fixed image of the forest and these trees positioned the same way than those outside, the river

by factors such as subsidy schemes, resource availability/scarcity, fossil fuel prices and seasonal influences. With the possible advent of 2nd generation biofuels, there may an increased focus of sourcing woody feedstocks other than sawdust (e.g. forest floor residues or entire trees), or go for other residue streams such as bagasse, rice husk or coffee husk pellets. On the demand side, further growth can be expected, mainly due to rising (heating) oil prices – the potential market for substituting
