What is the largest forest in the world?
AnswerAlthough most people think that it is the Amazon, I'm sure I heard that it is in fact a huge coniferous forest which goes around the globe near the North Pole, through Russia, Canada, Scandinavia etc. just below the tundra line. --Its called the Boreal forest or Taiga Forest (pronounced Tiger) and composes 1/3 of all the trees in the world. Taigan trees start growing above the arctic circle where they take more than 50yrs to grow bigger than a sapling because they only receive sun light for 1 month per year. The taiga is found throughout the high northern latitudes, between the tundra, and the temperate forest, mostly from 52°N to 66°N, but with considerable regional variation and reaching 70°N in some areas. The Taiga generates enough oxygen on its own to regenerate all the oxygen for the entire planet.CONFIRMED: It is the largest forest in the world. But it also is one of the puniest forests in terms of tree size. But it is the forest with the greatest impact on Carbon Dioxide levels, affecting them in yearly cycles. And, usually, it is just below the tundra line.Further Info:Parts of the Taiga are undergoing clearcutting, despite the puny tree size mixed with a great affect on the earth's climate. In Canada, less than eight percent of the boreal forest is protected from development and more than 50% has been allocated to logging companies for cutting. 80% of the boreal forest products from Canada are exported to the USA. Primary products are:-Toilet Paper-Normal Paper-Kleenex Tissues-Cardboard-Furniture-Chip Board and other wood building materials-The paper on dry wallThe importance to recycle everything that originates from wood, and, especially, buy recycled paper is very evident. As for toilet paper questions might rise on the sanitary value of recycling it, but a consumer should at least buy recycled.Virtually all paper can be recycled indefinitely. Wood can be reused or turned into paper.The soil in the boreal forest tends to be poor in nutrients. Forest fires clear out the tree canopies, allowing sunlight to invigorate new growth on the forest floor. For some species, wildfires are a necessary part of the life cycle in the taiga and can allow it to regrow to it's original point is around a decade. Clearcutting permanently removes nutrients from the soil in the form of trees. It could take DECADES for it to recover. Maybe even over a century, since the growing season is short there, but standards are enforced. Most companies that harvest in Canadian forests are certified by an independent third party agency such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forests Initiative (SFI), or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). While the certification process differs between these various groups, all of them include forest stewardship, respect for aboriginal peoples, compliance with local, provincial and/or national environmental laws, forest worker safety, education and training, and other environmental, business and social requirements. The prompt renewal of all harvest sites by planting or natural renewal is also required.

Why do gray wolves live i boreal forest?
It has to eat the blue-berries, not the green ones. if it eats the green ones, the whole forest will be filled with microwavable radiation, and all the bunnies and tundra kittens will be killed. I suggest to all grey wolves that they keep clear of trees. its very unsafe for their health.

What are facts about Canada's forest land use?
There are many facts as Canada's forested land accounts for 10% of the worlds forest. Another reason why Canada sinks more carbon than it emits, because trees take carbon from the air and turn it into wood. Canada's forests have always benefited from warming climates. Global Warming opens up even more areas to larger trees. Summers become longer, winters shorter giving trees more growing time. Canada's forest use has not been great in the past. There is almost no old growth rain-forest remaining in Canada. The forests called rain-forests today are but shadows of what was there. Basically any thing that grows back green is considered rain-forest. And Canada still allows clear cutting and the export of raw logs. These poor forest practices have been banned in many places around the world. Replanting clear cut areas with single species has given insects lots of food and as much as 15 million ha are affected. Forest fires take another 3 million ha but Canada's forests are large and resilient. Forest land use is improving. Unlike urban areas in Southern Canada industrial sites like those in Canada's Oilsands restore the forest when lands are no longer needed. And a forest is much more than a few trees. Restoration includes much more flora and fauna.

What are solutions for clear-cutting?
Nature clear cuts when she has a forest fire. However, when nature clear cuts with a forest fire, the same forest fire plants the seeds for a new forest. New plants grow up immediately. When humans clear cut, a team does not follow the clear cutters replanting the forest. In fact the United States Forestry Service gives the company that did the clear cutting five years to replant the trees. They have 5 years to do what should be done the next day.
