They are part of our natural global environment, they are used to building our own buildings, and we are even writing, eating, sitting on and reading from their products.
There are many reasons why we should plant more of them because the trees are so important.
Soil is in place in trees.
Tree roots grow deep into the soil and firmly maintain it and help prevent soil erosion, particularly in hillsides and other steep terrain.
Carbon dioxide sequester trees
As most of us in school have learnt, in humans and other organisms, trees and other green plants use carbon dioxide.
Without trees, our atmosphere’s carbon dioxide levels would be even higher.
Breams make oxygen
The trees produce oxygen through photosynthesis, on which humans and many other organisms rely.
Certain animals rely on trees. Trees provide a significant wildlife habitat and are crucial to many Earth’s ecosystems.
Some animals live in trees throughout their lives, while some cannot survive without old growth forests, including the North Spotted Owl in the United States of Washington.
Trees make towns more living
For cities it is particularly important to have a vibrant urban forest. One of the most important elements in building living cities by bringing nature into an artificial and human-made city environment is a healthy urban forest.
Children can learn about nature only by watching and interacting with trees in the city environment.
Even the vision of trees in cities can serve to alleviate stress and anxiety and improve the urban population’s general well-being. Green areas with trees in cities have been reported to help cut crime rates by around 50%.
Trees improve properties values
If a house has mature trees growing on the site, it is commonly known that they will sell between 7 and 19% more than if no trees are being established.
Trees promote energy saving
Strategically planted trees can serve to block the wind and generate shade on a property near residences and other buildings. This contributes to reducing the demand for winter heating and summer cooling.
Trees provide a feeling of location
Trees may add a special charm and character to an area that only can be found in that particular spot.
For our communities and future generations, trees represent an investment
We provide a gift to the environment and to our communities when we planted trees.
Since many trees may live centuries or more in many different species, our planting of “investment” trees may last much beyond one’s lifespan.
Slow runoff by trees .
Trees may intercept the flow of water from impermeable pavement to rivers and streams, protect stream banks, contribute to the elimination of flash floods and can assist replenish subsurface aquifers.
Trees help keep local cycles of water
In maintaining local water cycles, trees play a very significant function. Trees store water, prevent flooding, recharge subsurface aquifers, keep water vapour and increase rainfall opportunities in the atmosphere.
The water vapour vanishes in a region when trees are diminished, precipitation decreases and the danger of drought and desertification increases.Some detrimental impacts might be reversed by planting trees
Breas help buffer tempests
Mangrove woods are suited to strong coastal storms around the beaches and are used to protect regions inland against storms and strong winds.
Soil is cleaned by trees
Some toxins can be stored by trees and others can be transformed into less hazardous.
Trees have been found to be effective in filtering trash and chemicals from farmland, filtering water flow into rivers and rivers, purifying heavy metal and organic pollutants and helping to purify animal waste from water and garbage by road.
Trees aid noise control
Trees can absorb harsh sounds in the air, particularly in an urban area.
Baumballs may also assist minimise high urban noise from motorways and airports when carefully grown around a property.
Trees purify the air
Areas such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen, ozone, and particulate matter interact with air pollutants
