The Importance of Trees

In March this year our college organized atree plantation week. All the student of the college took part in it. It was fun to plant trees, to water them and give them a protecting case. Well, whydid we do it?

Trees are vital. Trees are very important, valuable and necessary for our existence in planet. Trees and plants have a vital role in our lives. In fact life has been made possible only by trees and plants. They are the source of oxygen which keeps us active and alive. They control the pollution not only of the air but of water too. Trees clean the air. They absorb pollutant gas and odors(such as nitrogen oxide, ammonia, ozone)  and filter into fresh oxygen for our life support. Trees intakes carbon dioxide from air and takes out fresh oxygen for our life support. They prevent soil erosion. Lets looks on the benefit of trees:-

 

Trees provide Oxygen

Trees are important and benefit the environment. A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in   a season as 10 people inhale in a year. Trees can produce enough oxygen for the survival of human   being in earth.

                                         

Trees control pollution

Trees acts as a scrubbers, removing pollutants from air,water as well as soil and help in purify freshwater stream and reservoirs.

Trees control soil erosion

The roots of the trees hold the soil in position and prevent it from displacing by water or air. Thus trees protect the soil from the effects of raindrops, reducing soil erosion.

Trees absorb the dangerous carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help in controlling the temperature rise. Then they bring rains which is “life” for us all.

They take the heat off the earth as well as the atmosphere. Then they provides us shade. In this way they maintain the ecological balance of the earth and provide us with life giving oxygen.

Trees provides food by the process of photosynthesis with the help of sunlight, water etc.

Trees are acknowledged as the store house of many known and unknown medicines. In brief trees are not only purify the atmosphere, they also cure us when we are ill and beautify our lives when we are healthy.

Trees provide cool areas for recreation and relaxation such as playgrounds and parks.

Trees absorb and block sound, reducing noise pollution by 40 percent.

Trees play a great role in climate change of environment.

Trees are important part of every community. They increase our quality of life by bringing natural element and wildlife habitats into urban setting.

                                       


But regard from this I feel very sad that we have destroyed much of the flora and fauna for meeting our various needs. But we must replenish the depleting forest by planting more and more trees. As we know that without tress life is incomplete as they play a vital role in living life. Now a days it is pleasure to know that in many states trees regarded as God and they worship trees. Also earlier the Chipko Movement and Van Mahotsava Movement are there which highlight the benefits of the trees. Our life is possible because of trees.
