Per. 2 Chapter 11: Forestry and Resource Management

Soil, fresh water, wild animals, and timber are examples of

• renewable resources.

• inexhaustible resources.

• nonrenewable resources.

• forest resources.

Maximum sustainable yield, ecosystem-based management, and adaptive management are three approaches to

• poaching.

• overharvesting.

• resource management.

• none of the above.

Most of the world's remaining forests are either boreal forest or

• tropical rain forest.

• temperate forest.

• tree plantations.

• chaparral.

Which of the following logging methods would most likely result in regrowth such as that shown above?

• clear-cutting

• a selection system

• a seed-tree approach

• a shelterwood approach

Clear-cutting is a timber harvesting method in which

• trees that provide shelter to seedlings are left uncut.

• only some mature trees in an area are cut.

• only immature trees in an area are cut.

• all of the trees in an area are cut.

Deforestation has the greatest impact on biodiversity

• on private lands.

• in tropical areas and arid regions.

• in densely populated urban areas.

• on public lands.

The Healthy Forests Restoration Act

• encourages salvage logging and prescribed burning on national forest land.

• requires that timber companies produce certified wood from national forest land.

• does not require environmental impact statements for logging on national forest land.

• requires adaptive management on national forest land.

Salvage logging can

• decrease soil erosion.

• decrease commercial logging.

• promote wildfires.

• speed up forest regrowth.

The policy of multiple use requires that national forests be managed for

• timber.

• wildlife habitat.

• recreation.

• all of the above.

When paper has a Forest Stewardship Council logo on it, the paper is

• made from rain forest wood.

• not made from wood.

• made from sustainably harvested wood.

• recycled.
