"Forests are as important to the Earth as lungs are to humans."
Forests are essential for life on Earth and play an extremely important role in the global climate. They absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and provide habitats for many species of plants and animals.
Without the existence of forests, humans would be severely deprived of oxygen to breathe on earth. We have learned about photosynthesis, and all the common green plants in our lives can perform photosynthesis.
They absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide and later pass through complex chemical reactions in the body. This carbon dioxide is then converted into oxygen and expelled from the body.
Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases, and without the absorption of forests, the global temperature will rise further. Oxygen is essential for human breathing, and it is thanks to forests that humans and many other animals have fresh air.
In addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, forests can also absorb some harmful gases. This also plays a positive role in the purification of air. Instead of installing more air purifiers, it is more practical to plant more trees.
A forest does more for the earth than simply absorbing harmful gases and producing oxygen. It forms a well-developed and complex root system underground, which holds the soil firmly in place.
Without the presence of these roots, if it rains or floods heavily, the soil on the ground will be washed away and erosion will occur. In addition, the root system can absorb deep groundwater. It is discharged with the leaves and so on. In this way, the dry air will become moist, which is undoubtedly a very comfortable environment for humans.
Many countries in the world are getting greenery, and this is because they see the role of forests and the importance of greenery. At that time, mankind was only concerned with immediate industrial development and the constant competition between a few big countries.
As a result, a large number of trees were cut down and no remedial measures such as tree planting were carried out, local soil erosion was serious and there was the possibility of desertification forming over time.
When a place is desertified, once the wind blows, the sandy wind will blow into the city and form dust storms. The sandstorm will affect people's travel and health.
In addition, the reduction of the forest area has prevented the absorption of harmful gases emitted by human industries. As a result, the quality of air will be greatly reduced. People who breathe such polluted air will suffer from various respiratory diseases, including pneumonia.
When they fall ill, they will not only bear a certain burden on their economy but also make the patients feel extreme pain. Therefore, greening is urgent, and many departments are encouraging people to take the time to plant a tree to lay the foundation for the health of future generations.
Forest is the defender of the earth, it can maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen, effectively removal of sulfur dioxide and other harmful gases. 1 acre of forest leaves all spread, will have 80 acres of land as large as the area.
The leaves are full of fluffy hairs, and the leaves can also secrete mucus and oil, making it possible for various pollutants in the air to be intercepted, filtered, and adsorbed by the forest.
Forests can also regulate temperature and humidity, making our living environment more comfortable. Therefore, the protection of forests is the relentless pursuit of our present generation.
