IMPORTANCE OF TREES IN OUR LIFE
BY:- Aditya
Trees are vital, not essential for life, but as the longest living species on earth.
It is critical that woodlands, rainforests, and trees in urban settings such as parks are preserved and sustainably managed worldwide.
Trees benefit health
Trees act as a physical filter, trapping dust and absorbing pollutants from the air. each tree removes up to 1.7 kilos every year
They also provide shade from solar radiation and reduce noise.
Research shows that your blood pressure drops within minutes of being surrounded by trees and green space, your heart rate slow, and your stress levels come down.
Trees benefit the environment.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, and the carbon they store in their wood helps slow the rate of global warming.
Trees also help prevent flooding and soil erosion, absorbing thousands of liters of stormwater.
Trees protect the future.
Soon, for the first time in history, the number of people with homes in cities outstrip those living in the countryside. Parks and trees will become an even more vital component of urban life. We must respect them and protect them for future

Importance and value of trees
Since the beginning, trees have furnished us with two of life essentials, foods, and oxygen, as we involved, provided additional necessities such as shelter, medicine, tools. Today, their value continues and increases, and more benefits of trees are being discovered as their role expands to satisfy the needs created by our modern lifestyles.
Ecological &Environmental Value
Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, supporting soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe.
Trees control climate by moderating the effect of sun, rain, and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun's radiant energy, keeping things cool in summer. Trees also preserve warmth by providing a screen from harsh wind. In addition to influencing wind speed and direction, they shield us from the downfall of rain, sleet, and hail. Trees also lower the air temperature and reduce the heat intensity of the greenhouse effect by maintaining a low level of carbon dioxide.
Both above and below ground, trees are essential to the eco-systems in which they reside. Far-reaching roots hold soil in place and fight erosion. Trees absorb and store rainwater which reduces runoff and sediment deposits after storms. This helps the groundwater supply recharge, prevents the transport of chemicals into streams, and prevents flooding. Fallen leaves make excellent compost that enriches the soil.
Many animals, including elephants, koalas, and giraffes, eat leaves for nourishment. Flowers are eaten by monkeys, and nectar is a favorite of birds, bats, and many insects. Animals also eat much of the same fruits that we enjoy. This process helps disperse seeds over great distances. Of course, hundreds of living creatures call trees their home. Leaf-covered branches keep many animals, such as birds and squirrels, out of the reach of predators.
