Harvesting without destroying
- We need wood for building, paper, and fuel.
- But clearcutting whole forests destroys habitat and erodes soil.
- There is a better way to take timber and keep the forest.
- These careful methods make up sustainable forestry.
采伐而不摧毁
- 我们需要木材来建造、造纸和做燃料。
- 但皆伐整片森林摧毁栖息地并侵蚀土壤。
- 有一个更好的办法采伐木材并保留森林。
- 这些谨慎的方法构成了可持续林业。
What sustainable forestry is
- Sustainable forestry 可持续林业 harvests timber while keeping the forest healthy.
- It takes wood no faster than the forest can regrow it.
- This keeps the timber available indefinitely — a sustainable yield.
- And it protects the soil, water, and wildlife the forest supports.
什么是可持续林业
- 可持续林业(sustainable forestry)在保持森林健康的同时采伐木材。
- 它采伐木材的速度不快于森林能重新生长的速度。
- 这让木材无限期地可用——一个可持续产量。
- 它还保护森林支撑的土壤、水和野生动物。
Sustainable forestry aims to… · 可持续林业旨在……
Sustainable forestry takes timber in ways that keep the forest and its wildlife healthy for the future. · 可持续林业以让森林和它的野生动物为未来保持健康的方式采伐木材。
Selective cutting
- Selective cutting 择伐 removes only some chosen trees, not all.
- The rest of the forest stays standing.
- The remaining trees shade the soil, hold it in place, and provide habitat.
- The gaps let young trees grow, and the forest continues.
择伐
- 择伐(selective cutting)只移除一些选定的树,不是全部。
- 森林的其余部分留存。
- 剩下的树遮蔽土壤、把它固定住,并提供栖息地。
- 空隙让幼树生长,森林延续。
Selective cutting means… · 择伐意味着……
Selective cutting removes only chosen trees, so the forest keeps its soil, habitat, and shade. · 择伐只移除选定的树,所以森林保留它的土壤、栖息地和树荫。
Replanting trees to renew a forest after harvest is called . · 采伐后重新种树以更新一片森林,叫做。
Reforestation replants trees so the forest and its benefits return over time. · 重新造林重新种树,让森林和它的好处随时间回归。
Replanting the forest
- After harvesting, foresters replant trees — reforestation 重新造林.
- New trees grow to replace those that were taken.
- Over time the forest and all its benefits return.
- Cut, replant, and wait: the cycle can continue forever.
重新种植森林
- 采伐之后,林业工人重新种树——重新造林(reforestation)。
- 新树长起来替代被采走的树。
- 随时间,森林和它所有的好处回归。
- 采伐、重新种植、等待:这个循环能永远继续。
Sustainable or harmful forestry? · 可持续还是有害的林业?
Sort each forestry practice by whether it keeps the forest healthy or destroys it. · 按照每种林业实践是让森林保持健康还是摧毁它,给它们分类。
Cutting trees no faster than they regrow keeps a forest available forever. · 砍树的速度不快于它们重新生长,让一片森林永远可用。
Harvesting at a sustainable yield lets the forest renew itself, so timber lasts indefinitely. · 以可持续产量采伐让森林自我更新,所以木材无限期地持续。
Select all · 所有 sustainable forestry practices. · 选出所有可持续的林业实践。
Clearcutting the whole forest is the opposite of sustainable. The other three protect it. · 皆伐整片森林是可持续的反面。其余三种保护它。
The key is the rate: cut no faster than the forest regrows. Take timber at a sustainable yield, use selective cutting instead of clearcutting, and replant, and a forest can supply wood forever. Exceed that rate, and even "managed" forestry becomes deforestation.
关键是速度:采伐的速度不快于森林重新生长的速度。以可持续产量采伐木材、用择伐代替皆伐、并重新种植,一片森林就能永远供应木材。超过那个速度,即使"有管理的"林业也变成毁林。
A forest that lasts:
- A forester marks and removes only the mature trees, leaving the young ones and the soil intact.
- Seedlings are planted to replace what was taken.
- Years later the forest is as full as before, still providing timber, habitat, and clean water — a renewable resource, managed to last.
一片能持续的森林:
- 一个林业工人标记并只移除成熟的树,让幼树和土壤保持完整。
- 种下树苗来替代被采走的树。
- 数年后森林和以前一样茂密,仍然提供木材、栖息地和干净的水——一种可再生资源,被管理得可持续。
Sustainable forestry harvests timber while keeping the forest healthy. It uses selective cutting (removing only some trees, not clearcutting), reforestation (replanting after harvest), and cutting no faster than the forest regrows. Done this way, a forest can supply wood indefinitely while protecting soil, water, and wildlife.
可持续林业在保持森林健康的同时采伐木材。它使用择伐(只移除一些树,不皆伐)、重新造林(采伐后重新种植),以及采伐的速度不快于森林重新生长。这样做,一片森林能无限期地供应木材,同时保护土壤、水和野生动物。
