Question

Give two environmental effects of using wood as an energy resource.

Answer 1

Answer:

Using wood also helps keep carbon out of the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.

Deforestation.  

Explanation:

Trees store carbon dioxide as they grow. After harvest, wood products continue to store much of this carbon. These benefits continue when wood is reclaimed to manufacture other products.

Extraction of wood within the supply areas clearly affects the forest and the environment. Some of these impacts can be seen in the study areas. The rainfall is increasingly irregular, biodiversity has been lost. Communities have experienced flooding and drought, which adversely affects the most important sector in the country's economy, that of agriculture. The local populations are concerned about these impacts, which affect not only the environment but the whole social economy.
