Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. They also release oxygen, which is essential for human life. In addition, trees help to remove pollutants from the air, such as particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide.
Soil
Trees help to improve soil quality by adding organic matter, which helps to retain water and nutrients. They also help to prevent erosion by holding the soil in place.
Water
Trees help to improve water quality by filtering pollutants and reducing runoff. They also help to regulate the flow of water, which can help to prevent flooding and droughts.
In addition to these benefits, forests also provide a number of other ecosystem services, such as providing habitat for wildlife, regulating the climate, and supporting recreation.
