Why trees matter?

"The trees encountered on a country stroll

Reveal a lot about the country's soul...

A culture is no better than its woods." -W.H.Auden

This insightful quote justifies the significance of trees which enhance out environment in no less obvious ways such as:

• Source of food for humans and wildlife.
• Act as air filters by removing dust, smoke and fumes from the atmosphere, there by improving the air quality.
• Reduce the greenhouse effect by removing carbon dioxide from the air and releasing oxygen.
• Regulate the water cycle by absorbing the rain water from the ground and releasing it back into the air as transpiration.
• Improve the soil quality by removing carbon and other noxious substances from the soil. Good quality soil should contain no more than 2% carbon. In fact, land that is surrounded by trees can double crop production. 
• Prevent soil erosion by using their trunks and foliage, forming a natural barrier to winds and floods. This barrier slows the forces of nature down and helps to prevent bad weather from becoming a natural disaster.
• The foliage of trees has a muffling effect, diminishing the level of sound and acting as a barrier against unwanted light. There by reducing noise as well as light pollution.
• Help to reduce the stress of modern life.
• Vital habitat for wildlife since a diverse range of birds, insects and mammals live in forest. Deforestation will result in the extinction of species disrupting the ecological balance.

Hence, trees are our life’s companions, it is our duty to keep the whole earth green and happy.
