Tropical moist forests are the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, containing 60 to 90 per cent of the world's species.

It's wet.

Hate the smell of dampness, don't you?

The claim relates to damage to shoreline areas, wetlands, mangroves, intertidal and subtidal areas and coral reefs.

Kind of steamy here in New Orleans.

Little bit of wet rot, but not much.

It's very muggy and extremely damp.

These are lands that are at the margins of forests, semi arid regions, mountains, wetlands and land corridors.

It is extremely hot and humid in Bali in December.

Now, if we have evidence, which we now have, that wetlands, forests, unclear monsoon system, the rainforests, behave in this nonlinear way.

USGS has also been cooperating with NASA plus the Universities of New Hampshire and Maryland to produce similar three date time series Landsat data sets for the Humid Tropical Forest Inventory Project, which is studying the tropical forest regions of the Amazon Basin, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia.

After a small climax at 16 3, the Timberwolves surpassed the Warriors at 94 92 to finish the third quarter.

It gets very humid here in the summer. In the winter, on the other hand, it gets very dry.

What good are they in that cobwebby old closet?

Re wetting peatlands and the restoration of degraded peat forests should be the next step, followed by the creation of early warning systems to detect and control forest fires. Finally, with the support of the private sector, Indonesia needs to establish a community based forest management system.

People dry out or air out their mattress stuffing on their roofs.

You were saying the cellars in Nevers are old and damp?

All I can remember is that the climate was rather wet, but the fishing was quite good.

Impacts were found to be negative in general. Foreseen impacts on forest ecosystems included increased fire hazard, loss of moisture, shifts in forest extent and type, loss of biodiversity, loss of fodder, increased incidence of tree stand mortality due to diseases, and reduction in food production and animal habitats.

Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.

It has a total area of 318 million hectares which represents 6 per cent of the world apos s arid, semi arid and dry sub humid lands (ASALS) and 25 per cent of Africa apos s ASALS.

The forest ecosystem and forest resources

Combating deforestation and forest degradation

In addition, considerable efforts are being made to improve natural forest management and recover forest loss through the Forestry Incentives Programme of the National Forestry Institute (INAB).

So inside it's cool and humid, which means the plants need less water to grow.

(iii) In Hong Kong, 1997 was the wettest year on record, with 3,340 mm of rainfall

Other measures identified by Parties included the planting of high biomass crops, such as sugar cane, soil and watershed conservation, rehabilitation of wetlands, forest research, forest management, bans on bush burning during land clearing and the promotion of fast growing tree species, review of current forest and land management policies, forestry legislation, forestry administration plans and tax incentives for encouraging reforestation, and sand dune stabilization.

36. Nearly half of the world apos s coastal ecosystems, including wetlands, tidal flats, saltwater marshes and mangrove swamps, are also threatened by land conversion associated with both urbanization and tourism.

While forest biodiversity continues to decline as a result of deforestation, forest degradation and associated fragmentation of forest habitats, strong efforts are now being made to reverse this trend by restoring the forest functions in degraded forest landscapes.

Forests disappearing, deserts where once there was forest.

Implementation of the proposals for action of IPF IFF

IPF and IFF agreed on over 270 proposals for action for sustainable forest management.

Forest landscape restoration is relevant to a wide range of IPF and IFF proposals for action and the UNF programme of work.

281 The transport by sea of hay, straw or bhusa, wet, damp or contaminated with oil should be prohibited.

Decentralization in the forest sector should not be implemented in isolation from a general national forestry strategy such as national forest programs.
