9 WORDS RELATED TO FORESTRY ACTIVITY - BIOLOGY - 2025

Among the main words related to forestry are forestry, reforestation and cutting. Forestry is concerned with studying, managing and promoting the practice of tree plantations, especially forests.

The most common of the forestry activities are the plantation, renovation and felling of timber species. The creation of artificial forests, created for logging, is also part of forestry.

The forestry activity also deals with study, development and research. One of the objectives of forestry is the development of sustainability, planting trees to replace each felled tree with a new one.

Thus, it seeks to maintain natural resources and minimize or stop global warming due to indiscriminate logging.

Nine words related to forestry

1- Reforestation

It is the activity by which a previously deforested area is repopulated with trees. The purpose of reforestation is environmental.

It seeks to recover a natural space that was destroyed for several reasons: agricultural activity, industrialization, the need for spaces for housing or fires, among many others.

2- Forestry

It is the set of activities related to the cultivation, care and exploitation of forests and their study. It is about the analysis and practice of the most convenient techniques to apply to forest masses. In this way, it seeks to obtain a constant and sustainable production.

One of its main activities is to create and conserve a forest, using both its practical and theoretical knowledge, helping to regulate the establishment of a tree mass, and its development.

3- Plantation

It is a large area of ​​land dedicated, in this case, to the planting of tree species.

4- Forest

It is an ecosystem where the predominant vegetation are trees.

These vegetation communities function as animal habitats, rainfall moderators and soil conservators.

5- Over exploitation

It is the exploitation of a natural resource in an excessive or abusive way. The overexploitation of forests has a strong impact on the biodiversity of an area.

Clearing and indiscriminate logging can alter humidity, temperature, and light conditions, causing a reduction in forest populations. It can even lead to the extinction of some species.

6- Cutting

It is the stem, branch or sapling that is grafted onto another plant, or is introduced into the earth to reproduce a tree.

A large number of tree species are reproduced by cuttings and raised in greenhouses, until they are strong enough to implant within the forest.

7- Deforestation

It is the action caused by man through indiscriminate felling or burning of forests, which seeks to assign another use to the forest area.

Deforestation wipes out all the biodiversity in a forest. It causes irreparable damage to the quality of soils, which take many years to recover.

8- ZFP (Permanent Forest Zone)

They are those areas that must be managed with a regime that guarantees the maintenance of forested areas. It can be for your protection or for your production.

9- Jungle

They are dense forests with great biological diversity, lush vegetation, biodiverse understory and several layers of floors or layers of vegetation.

It has trees that can exceed 30 meters in height, to ferns that are at ground level. As sunlight does not penetrate, there is a great abundance of fungi, mosses and various species.
