1 Softwoods for paper, furniture and consumer products
DIAMOND 9: what are the most important uses of the forest for human life? Hardwood building materials, fuel for industry, vital economic exports for LEDC regions providing jobs and income Forest are vital in nutrient recycling, providing decaying material and protecting soil profile and humus layer MOST Forest intercept rain as it moves through drainage basin, lowering flood risk Softwoods for paper, furniture and consumer products TRF is largest gene pool in the world, entire planet dependent on genetic material contained in this bio-diverse region Forests are a vital store of carbon. Without it, C02 levels would rise dramatically causing accelerating climate change TRF is lungs of the planet, providing vital atmospheric regulation service Forest are stratified ecosystems, providing habitats to many different fauna and allow the simultaneous growth different flora TRF is most bio diverse region of planet providing food, medicine and resources STRETCH: Can you you add your own ideas? Forest protect soil from rainwater and are vital in nutrient recycling, providing decaying material and soil profile STRETCH 2: BOLD the key words on each statement LEAST

2 Forests provide Softwoods for paper, furniture and consumer products
DIAMOND 9: what are the most important uses of the forest for human life? Forests provide building materials, fuel and economic exports for LEDC regions Forest are recycle nutrients, the key building block for plant and animal growth MOST Forests provide Softwoods for paper, furniture and consumer products Forests catch rainwater, lowering flood risk Forests are a vital store of carbon. Without them, climate change would be far worse TRF is largest gene pool in the world, genetic material helps us in medicine and science Forest providing habitats to many different fauna and flora TRF is most bio diverse region of planet providing food, medicine and resources TRF is lungs of the planet, turning CO2 in to oxygen Forest canopies protect soil from rainwater erosion LEAST
