Why are trees important to us?

Answer 1

Trees help us breathe and provide a home for quite a few diverse kinds of animals and insects. They are the largest and longest living organisms on earth. To grow tall the tree has become a miracle of engineering and a complex chemical factory. It is able to take water and salts out of the earth and lift them up to the leaves, sometimes over 400 ft above. By means of photosynthesis the leaves combine the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients which feed the tree. In this process, as well as wood, trees create many chemicals, seeds and fruit of great utility to man. Also, trees provide refreshing shade.

Apart from the above, trees are effectively the lungs of the environment. They take much of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen via photosynthesis. They also store carbon in their roots, trunk, branches and leaves. Carbon makes up 50% of the weight of the wood in a tree. Therefore, the greenhouse gas load is reduced and effects of global warming are also brought down. Further dead trees that get buried in soil eventually provide fossil fuels like coal, gasoline products, etc. Among all, trees have an indisputable role in bringing rain to earth. Moreover, they provide a cover over the top surface of earth preventing excessive heating up by solar rays.

Trees provide the human species with a constant supply of oxygen. This oxygen, which humans in turn utilize for survival, is produced through trees as they intake various amounts of carbon dioxide, which humans exhale.

A small seed becomes a big Tree, gives shed in summer and in winter all of the leaves of the Tree falls down to indirectly provide us more sunlight and the atmosphere becomes more warm.
Flower on threes give joyfulness to us. Fruits satisfy our hunger.

They (Trees) always take away polluted air (Carbon Dioxide) from the environment and in return they give fresh, purified oxygen.

Tree provide home to the Birds, Animals and Human Beings also.

Some tree have medicinal values also, their every part starting from the roots to the top are full of medicinal values, Neem (Botanical Name: Azadirachta Indica) is a very famous tree and best example of this.

Trees help in controlling temperature of the environment. You have noticed that the place where there are trees, are much more cooler and hygienic for living. That's why people prefer to spend their life in regions which are away from concrete jungle of cities Like New York, New Delhi, Tokyo, Mumbai, London, Cairo and all other big cities.

Deforestation is normal these days, this is creating a lot of problems. Some of the hazards from deforestation are as follow:

1) Soil Erosion: The trees help in keeping the soil intact with their roots but when there is lot of cutting of trees, the soil is washed away with water during the rains. And during floods the it creates havoc. Due to soil erosion the water level also falls down.
2) Pollution: Trees help in controlling the pollution in the air and if their are no trees, we have to face more air pollution.
3) Lack of Pure Oxygen
4) Environmental Imbalance
5) Imbalance in the Food Chain of the Ecosystem.
6) Global Warming is becoming a major problem these days due to this. Due to this Glaciers are melting and the Sea Level is rising day by day. This is indirectly creating lot of environmental problems.

A small seed becomes a big Tree, give shed in summer and in winter Trees) always take away polluted air (Carbon Dioxide) from The environment and in return they give fresh, purified oxygen As we evolved, they provided additional necessities such as shelter, medicine, and tools if we cut down all da trees then there will not be oxygen only da thing will be lft is carbon dioxide and please don't cut trees save lifes of human being, animals and plants.

Answer 2

Because they supply us with oxygen to live. All plant life (including trees) consumes the carbon dioxide that we exhale, while at the same time produces the oxygen that is vital for all animal life to exist. Algea is the most abundant plant form on earth producing the grestest share of oxygen, but, all forms of plant life are important to keep a healthy balance of oxygen to carbon dioxide.

Answer 3

Trees provide us with air that we need to survive on earth. They re-use our carbon dioxide (stuff we breathe out) and turn it to oxygen through a process. Trees also act as sponges in monsoon struck areas. The trees absorb that extra water so the land isn't as flooded. Another use of trees is to support the land. Trees hold up the land to prevent erosion and landslips. There are more uses and importance of trees.

Answer 4

Trees are important, valuable and necessary to our very existence. It's not too hard to believe that, without trees we humans would not exist on this beautiful planet. In fact, some claim can be made that our mother's and father's ancestors climbed trees - another debate for another site.

Still, trees are essential to life as we know it and are the ground troops on an environmental frontline. Our existing forest and the trees we plant work in tandem to make a better world.

1. Trees Produce OxygenLet's face it, we could not exist as we do if there were no trees. A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breath. 2. Trees Clean the SoilThe term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals, reduce the effects of animal wastes, clean roadside spills and clean water runoff into streams. 3. Trees Control Noise PollutionTrees muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can abate major noises from freeways and airports. 4. Trees Slow Storm Water RunoffFlash flooding can be dramatically reduced by a forest or by planting trees. One Colorado blue spruce, either planted or growing wild, can intercept more than 1000 gallons of water annually when fully grown. Underground water-holding aquifers are recharged with this slowing down of water runoff. 5. Trees Are Carbon SinksTo produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. A forest is a carbon storage area or a "sink" that can lock up as much carbon as it produces. This locking-up process "stores" carbon as wood and not as an available "greenhouse" gas. 6. Trees Clean the AirTrees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing such pollutants as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Trees remove this air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and by retaining particulates. 7. Trees Shade and CoolShade resulting in cooling is what a tree is best known for. Shade from trees reduces the need for air conditioning in summer. In winter, trees break the force of winter winds, lowering heating costs. Studies have shown that parts of cities without cooling shade from trees can literally be "heat islands" with temperatures as much as 12 degrees Fahrenheit higher than surrounding areas. 8. Trees Act as WindbreaksDuring windy and cold seasons, trees located on the windward side act as windbreaks. A windbreak can lower home heating bills up to 30% and have a significant effect on reducing snow drifts. A reduction in wind can also reduce the drying effect on soil and vegetation behind the windbreak and help keep precious topsoil in place.

Answer 5

• Well, for one thing trees give off clean oxygen for us to breath and take in carbon dioxide which is bad for the environment (a greenhouse gas causing global warming).
• They also provide homes and protection for many mammals and birds.
• Trees have sap in them which some animals use for food.
• The enormous trees provide shade to help keep animals cool (and people).
• Trees' roots dig into the ground and keep soil in place, preventing erosion and landslides.

Answer 6

Trees give us oxygen a type of gas that makes it possible for humans to survive. Trees are also used to make timber and wood items including furniture. They also provide good shelter for small animals like birds and other small creatures like a chipmunk. You know how chipmunks like acorns? Well, guess what? Those little nuts are from trees!Hope this helps!

Answer 7

be planting a tree:

• you are helping in reducing carbon dioxide and thus helping in preventing air pollution
• you are providing shed for who needs it
• if it is a fruit tree, then you are providing fruits to who needs it.

Answer 8

Trees give off oxygen and clean the air so we can breath, not to mention giving shelter to animals.

Answer 9

To have a clean Environment . And good Pollution . Habitat or Shelter for the animals .
