	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Forests
		In ecological terms, a forest may be differentiated from a woodland: a forest is considered to have a more or less closed canopy, where the branches and foliage of trees meet or interlock; a woodland is considered to have an open canopy, where some sunlight penetrates between the trees (see also: savanna).
		Forests are differentiated from woodlands by the extent of canopy coverage: in a forest the branches and foliage of separate trees often meet or interlock, although there can be gaps of varying sizes within an area referred to as forest.

	Forests and Climate Change
		The tropical forests that lie either side of the equator and the temperate and boreal forests that lie largely in the northern hemisphere (with a small proportion in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Chile).
		The northern migration of the forest is expected to be very slow, especially in relation to the forest loss expected in the south due to increased fire frequency, pest outbreaks, drought and competition from temperate tree species.
		The forest industry's use of fossil fuels to plant, manage and harvest trees and to transport wood and manufacture timber and paper means that the CO absorbed by the trees is at best partially offset and at worst totally offset.

	Friends of the Earth: Press Release: FINLAND AND SWEDEN TARGETED BY FOREST CAMPAIGNERS
		Wood and paper from the threatened old-growth forests of Sweden and Finland is being supplied to UK consumers.
		The conversion of the old natural forests to intensive "factory forests" is driven by the insatiable and increasing demand for timber and paper [2].
		Finland has protected 2.7% of its productive forest, but again, in the south of the country, this figure is just 0.5%.Many of the few remaining old-growth forests are without protection and are being, or are threatened with being, logged.

	Natural Human Language [encyclopedia]
		In most of W Europe, the situation is straightforward, because language boundaries tend to coincide with the boundaries of nation-states, and the languages of France, Germany, Italy, etc are not mutually intelligible.
		But in Scandinavia, political autonomy in Norway and Sweden has led to Norwegian and Swedish being called separate 'languages', despite the fact that they are largely mutually intelligible.
		Most of this theory was built around the "Wild Boy of Aveyron" who was found in the forests of southern France in 1797.
