Answer 1

Answer:

role of forest in  maintaining the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Forests play the main role in balancing oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The oxygen produced by the trees or plants is the only source to make the human being stay alive.

• Forests are called the green lungs because plants in forests release oxygen by the process of photosynthesis and help in providing oxygen to animals for respiration.
• Animals release carbon dioxide during respiration which is sucked up by the plants.
• In this way the oxygen and carbon dioxide cycles take place.
• Forests consist of a large number of trees and plants, so they help to maintain the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere.

• During the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
• Trees preserve moisture in the soil by giving shade which reduces the evaporative loss from the radiant energy exchange with the atmosphere.
