Invasive species
1) More diversity
Old growth features include diverse tree related structures that provide diverse wide life habitat that increases the biodiversity of the forested ecosystem.
2) lumber and whole wood products
Furniture, floors, fuel, paper and houses can all be made of wood. It is one of the most widely used plant product in the world and also one of the most stable substances in the plant kingdom.Russia has surpassed Canada to become the world's largest exporter of lumber.
3) The preservation of natural habitats, recreation and education
National parks measures originally set to protect humans from the nature force became increasingly necessary for the protection of nature against humans. The protection of rare eco systems and the conservation of bio diversity are the main functions of national parks.
4) Banning clear cutting on sloping land to minimize erosion.
Sustainable forestry practices controlled burning to encourage forest regeneration, continually monitoring the health of the forest.
5) Funding
The NPS state conservation assistance program distributes funding to states for land preservation.
