list 3 advantages of reforestation
Answers
Answer:
3 advantages are .
- we can get more & more oxygen and our environment becomes fine
- we can get many resources from forest
- our ecosystem.will not harmed
Explanation:
1) Oxygen Carbon dioxide balance
Reforestation activities promote the gradual depletion of CO2 from the atmosphere through absorption during photosynthesis. This in turn reduces its concentration in the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesisrelease oxygen and therefore helps to maintain the CO2/O2 balance. Less carbon dioxide means less pollution and less global warming.
2) Preventing soil erosion
Another environmental hazard caused by deforestation is erosion. The trees prevent or reduce soil erosion and water contamination. The roots of trees serve as natural nets spreading extensively into the ground to hold the soil in place. As soil runoff is prevented essential nutrients are retained and the soil remain fertile. Trees add manure to the soil from falling leaves and dried branches.
3) Maintain water cycle
Forests maintain the water cycle of the area by absorbing moisture through the leaves and roots. They are a natural storage system of rainwater and slows down the aridity of the atmosphere. Trees prevent fresh water lakes from losing moisture and drying up.
4)Transpiration
The trees release some of the water they absorb as water vapor from its leaves. This is the process of transpiration; this helps to restores moisture of the atmosphere and helps maintain the temperature in the local environment.
5)Economy
Forests have always been a great source of economy. The paper factory is dependent on wood pulp supplied from trees. Lumbering had been the main occupation of the people in the coniferous region. When a forest is properly managed and saplings planted regularly, then forests are sustainable source of timber.
Forests provide employment to the local people who gather forest products and turn them into handicraft. A global cottage industry with no pollution!
