how do trees help to cool the atmosphere

Normally, trees help cool the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide as part of the photosynthesis process and by evaporating water into the air. In the tropics, water evaporates naturally from trees, increasing cloud cover and keeping temperatures cooler.

The most obvious way trees cool the air is by shading. Reducing the amount of sunlight striking buildings and pavement reduces the amount of energy that is absorbed and re-radiated into the air.
Trees also cool the air by a process known as 'transpiration cooling'. As trees release water into the atmosphere from their leaves via transpiration, the surrounding air is cooled as water goes from liquid to a vapor. The process is similar to evaporation pads used to cool greenhouses -- except in trees, water moves into the tree's roots from the soil and travels through the tree's water-conducting system, eventually being transpired from the leaves. The water that is released in its gas vapor form has a cooling effect on the surrounding air.
