Trees

Trees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by providing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, preventing soil erosion, and conserving water. They also act as carbon sinks to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. While trees provide many benefits, some species can cause allergies. Trees are also susceptible to pests and diseases, and maintaining urban trees can be expensive. Falling trees also pose liability risks in some areas.

Trees

By-Me
Why trees are useful
• Trees play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance
of our planet.
• They provide oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and act as a
natural air filter. (photosynthesis)
• Trees play a vital role in water conservation. Their roots help
prevent soil erosion and retain water, reducing the risk of
floods and landslides . Trees also contribute to the
replenishment of groundwater, ensuring a sustainable water
supply for both humans and wildlife
Climate change
• trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere.
• They help mitigate the greenhouse effect and contribute to
the stabilization of global temperatures.
• By planting more trees, we can combat climate change and
protect our planet for future generations.
• NASA states that trees absorb abt 400 trillion tonnes of carbon from the
atmosphere every year
Dangers of trees

• Some tree species produce pollen and other allergens that can cause
allergies and respiratory issues in sensitive individuals.
• Trees are susceptible to various pests and diseases, and global trade
can contribute to the spread of these issues. For example, diseases like
Dutch elm disease and pests like the emerald ash borer have had
devastating effects on many species.
• Maintaining and managing urban trees and forests can be expensive
• Falling branches or trees can pose a liability risk, especially in urban
areas where trees are close to buildings and infrastructure.
• In some regions, trees can compete with agriculture and other water-
dependent activities for water resources, leading to conflicts over
water use.
• dense tree canopies can increase the risk of wildfires, especially in
regions prone to dry conditions. Trees can act as fuel during wildfires.
