Question

Explain how the forest control air quality and water resources

Answer 1

Forest control air quality by releasing oxygen to the air and it takes carbon dioxide in night hours to balance the air components.
Water is essential for life and forests are essential for water. Forests serve as our natural water collection, filtration, and delivery systems by collecting rain and snow and delivering it into streams, wet meadows, and aquifers throughout the year. Water flows from forests into rivers that supply our reservoirs, agricultural canals, and water tables. Forests also are key to flood control, absorbing and holding vast amounts of water in major rain events such as those increasingly seen with climate change, releasing it far more slowly, and cleanly, than would happen otherwise.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soil provides nutrients, water, oxygen and heat to natural land areas. ... Air is a third critical resource for humans, plants, animals and all other organisms within a natural area. Air must be monitored in order to control and lower pollution levels, control smoke caused by wildland fires, and to monitor air quality.
