Question

how to forests effect climate?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the explanation section for the answer.

Explanation:

Forests effect change in the climate largely by the amount of carbon dioxide which is present in the atmosphere. When the forests grow, carbon is removed from the atmosphere and is absorbed in leaves, soil and wood. It is because forests can absorb and store carbon over an extended time period, known as "carbon sinks". This carbon remains stored in the forest ecosystem, but can be released into the atmosphere when forests are burned. The important roles of forests in storing, absorbing and releasing carbon is important to understand the global carbon cycle and hence effecting in the climate change.
