16 Ways of HEAVY DAMAGE

To Healthy Native Forest Habitat Ecology

Multi-functions of Balancing food-webs

TL-CC = Total Logging = Clear cutting forest down have many effects of:

Killing most all the trees & underbrush, ground covers in destroyed forest

habitats

Forests robbed of water-holding trees & ground cover, heating & drying up

can burn up.

Exposing (barren) top-soil to sunshine, heating & drying up, becoming barren, hard, dead & dusty, can wash or blow away. Robbing animals of fertile habitats & unable to seed.

Missing taken Trees & killed ground-cover plants not holding top-soil will erode away in rainfall, snow run-off, landslide or flooding,

Wetlands ruined by drying up from heating up from missing shade & water holding functions of trees, bushes & ground covers, can easily erode & flood in heavy rains.

Mini Extinctions – any variety of plant, animals, worm or fungus that dies or flees a forest logged or burning up or flooding, become a missing need in the local food web network.

Flooding water sheds & dams cause killing of most plant life & killing or pushing out most animals life in the flooded ecozone watershed, ruining microhabitats fro many varieties, causing Mini extinctions in flooded ecozones will also kill the soil hold ing plants, then eroding

Landslides (Ls) happen easily in steep logged hillside forests unable to hold the soil & rocks together in rains sliding-down mountainsides killing trees, animals & into creeks killing fish/spawning & even people, destroying homes, roads, bridges, etc; often unable to replant that Ls zone.

Wildfires burning up forests overheated by TL-CC ecozones & other man

caused events.

Down wood from man caused over-logging can easily catch fire & burn up

forests

Missing species & varieties of plants & animals nesting ground can become extinct in TL-CC bioregion, leave, migrate of die?

Logging Roads dug & built for TL-CC, 100,000 of miles in US Forests, often paid by taxes, causes erosion of streams hurting or ruining native water quality, fish habitats & wetland.

Spraying forests with pesti/herbicides to kill weeds & insects also damages the water quality in the watershed, even mutating animals & people who drink that water in some seasons cycles. Also from agri biz spraying petro-chemokills can drift into damage forests

TL – Cc can damage a Healthy Forest Habitat Ecology for decades to centuries, depending on the how old the trees were when cut & how many common & rare varieties were growing in the soil, animals nesting, aquaculture in wetlands; streams & pools; birds, moss & herbs in canopy?
