skogens ekosystem forest ecosystem (Any forest environment, in which plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment, in which they live)
skogens ekosystem forest ecosystem
skogens kollager forest carbon stock
skogsavverkning på stora ytor deforestation of large areas
skogsberoende befolkning forest-dependent people

skogsbrand forest fire (A conflagration in or destroying large wooded areas having a thick growth of trees and plants)
skogsbrand forest fire
skogsbruk forestry (The management of forest lands for wood, forages, water, wildlife, and recreation)
skogsbruk forest exploitation (Forests have been exploited over the centuries as a source of wood and for obtaining land for agricultural use. The mismanagement of forest lands and forest resources has led to a situation where the forest is now in rapid retreat. The main aspects of the situation are: serious shortages in the supply of industrial wood; the catastrophic erosion and floods accompanying the stripping of forests from mountainous land; the acute shortages of fuel wood in much of the developing world; the spread of desert conditions at an alarming rate in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world; and the many environmental effects of the destruction of tropical rainforests)
skogsbruk forest management
skogsbruk forest exploitation
skogsbrukets miljöpåverkningar environmental impact of forestry (The world's forestry resources are shrinking at an alarming rate. The need for foreign exchange encourages many developing countries to cut timber faster than forests can be regenerated. This overcutting not only depletes the resource that underpins the world timber trade, it causes loss of forest-based livelihoods, increases soil erosion and downstream flooding, and accelerates the loss of species and genetic resources)
skogsbruksprodukt forest product (Any material afforded by a forest for commercial use, such as tree products and forage)
skogsbruksprodukt forest product
skogsbruksproduktion forest production (Forests produce a range of products including firewood and charcoal, lumber, paper, and crops such as coffee, oil palm, and rubber. With careful planning of growth and harvesting, wood and other forest products are, in principle, renewable resources. But achieving renewability takes time - often decades, sometimes centuries. Without careful management, pressure for short-term exploitation can lead to tree removal, soil degradation, and conversion of woodland to other uses. Consumption of forest resources can lead to environmental problems as well as loss of critical habitat and species)
