which nation has more trees? Canada or Russia?

Answer 1

: Plants and Animals (from Canada) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
Plant life in Canada varies with land type and climate. By far the most abundant form is boreal, or northern, forest, which accounts for four fifths of the nation's forested area. This band of tree growth, which covers the southern portion of the Canadian Shield and stretches uninterrupted from the border with Alaska to the Atlantic coast, is second in size only to the boreal forests of Russia. Since deciduous trees, or those that shed their leaves, cannot survive in a climate...

2: Forest Action Network - Boreal Forests Campaign
The boreal forest ecosystem is a contiguous green belt of coniferous and deciduous trees encircling much of the northern hemisphere, including most of Russia, Scandanavia, and Canada. It has long been identified as one of the world's three great forest ecosystems. Urgent action is needed to save boreal forests from logging, mining, dams, and oil and gas development.

3: The Status of the World's Temperate Forests
Area of temperate forest. Temperate forests cover over 2 billion hectares of the Earth's surface, more than half the global forest cover. Most is closed forest, although there are also large areas of open woodland. The majority of the world's temperate forest is held by three nations, Russia, Canada and the United States, with Russia alone containing 41 per cent, and 32 per cent in North America. Of the remainder, 10 per cent is in northern Asia, 8 per cent in Europe excluding...

What is Global Forest Watch? Approximately half of the forests that initially covered our planet have been cleared, and another 30 percent have been fragmented, degraded, or replaced by secondary forest. Urgent steps must be taken to safeguard the remaining fifth, located mostly in the Amazon Basin, Central Africa, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Russia. As part of this effort, the World Resources Institute in 1997 started Global Forest Watch (GFW). Global Forest Watch is identifying...

Russia still has vast areas of forest, mainly in Siberia, that play a vital role in climate regulation by absorbing damaging carbon emissions. But some experts believe Siberia is losing 4 million hectares (9.8 million acres) of forest annually, nearly twice the...

Jul 1 (IPS) - The arrival of huge planeloads of leaders and officials to the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland will be made 'carbon neutral' by the British government. But that may not be enough, experts say. The carbon neutrality principle emerges from the idea that there will be significant emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from all the flights headed for the summit July 6-8. These gases are believed to cause global warming, which disrupts climate...

The Europeans - although not Britain - saw this as a free ride for...

Answer 2

probably russia, has more land.... but you've got to factor in the Siberia section too... hmmm... but Canada's got some really cold tundra region up there ... hmm... gotta get some hard facts here...

Canada: has 10% of the world's forests (2001-2), 417.6 million hectares of forests

Russia: 763.5 millions hectares of forests

So the answer appears to be, Russia. However the figures do not show what the density of the forest land is (how many actual trees are.) You'd need to do more research on this, if you were interested in delving into this further.

Answer 3

Russia is much larger than Canada and has more trees

Answer 4

Russia has the largest amount of trees. Siberia alone is larger than Canada itself

Answer 5

Because of the mountains position is north-south bound, so the passage of the weather in there and its walleys of North America, Canada. Dramatic quick changes of weather are by free move of North Pole winds southward. Its well known that Russia handles her meteorologic issues secretly, they even shot off american weather balloons by the 1950's.

Answer 6

Canada , no.
