P repare a report on nonwood uses and benefits of forests.
Some of these benefits are difficult to quantify in economic terms. C onsider biological diversity and extinction, both as a natural process and as it has been altered by human activity. Delineate the impacts of human activities on species dependent on old-growth systems. D istinguish between temperate and tropical forests. Research the structure and function of a forest ecosystem, including plants and animals, water relations, soil development, air purification, climate regulation, and susceptibility to disturbance.
