WHY WE GO FOR PLANTATION

PLANTATION

A

GLOBAL ISSUE



PLANTATION

A plantation is a large artificially established

forest, farm or estate.

Crops grown on plantations include fast-

growing trees (often conifers), cotton, coffee,

tobacco, sugar cane, sisal, some oil seeds

(notably oil palms) and rubber trees.

The history of the environmental, social andeconomic issues relating to plantation.



WHY PLANTATION ?

Tree plantations potentially offer many direct and indirect

environmental benefits:

Tree Plantations and Soil/water Issues

Tree Plantations and Biodiversity

Tree Plantations and Climate

Tree Plantations and Social Economics



IMPACT ON Soil/water Issues

Soil Issues:

The positive effects of plantations

on soil conservation.

Protection of the soil surface from

the direct impact of rain

Improvement of soil structure

through root penetration and

Addition of organic matter from

decomposing leaves, roots, and

wood which has helped to improve

its water retention and soil fertility.



IMPACT ON Soil/water Issues

contd«

"Reserved in Forest for the Rains

"Forest Conservation and the Maintenance of Water Supplies."

Many natural forest reserves have beenestablished around the world inmountainous areas for the protection of municipal water supplies.

Water Issues:

The beneficial effects of plantation on

water quality, soil erosion prevention,

and the reliability of water supply have

long been recognized



IMPACT ON Biodiversity

Biodiversity refers to the number of different kinds of plants

and animals found in a particular area such as a hectare of

forest, and entire country, or the earth.

Protection to each organism, even those that

are unknown and unnamed, has some value.Many plants and animals are valued for the

medicinal chemicals they produce or for their

importance to forestry or agriculture.

Conserving other species are valued for their beauty or otherspecial properties. Many species, even obscure organisms in the

soil, may play important but poorly understood roles in

improving soil fertility, in preventing diseases and pests from

affecting crops, or otherwise maintaining a balance of nature

that is favorable to human existence.



IMPACT ON CLIMATE

Plantation makes the environment clean.

Reduces GLO

BAL WARMING

and makes the earth suitable

for lives.

Trees in our forests draw the

rain from the clouds floating

in the sky.



Manufacturer of OXYGEN.

Removes CARBON DIOXIDE.



Vegetation as a protection against weather influences



Impact on Social Economics

Source of food as well as medicine.

Generate employments.

Improve the living standard of the people.Play a great role in development of a state,

region, and the nation as the whole if properly

planned and integrated into the multiplelanduse.
