Question

List any three ways in which forest are useful to use

Answer 1

Answer:

We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change.

Answer 2

What are Forests?

A forest is a piece of land with many trees. Many animals need forests to live and survive. Forests are very important and grow in many places around the world. They are an ecosystem which includes many plants and animals.A forest can be thick, humid, or dense. It could also be described as barren or desolate during the winter, or eerie and terrifying at nighttime. A forest that has been in a fire could be described as austere or sad, while a healthy forest could be described as alive, and astir with life.

How do we use Forests?

1. Forests are a Breath of Fresh Air - with a little help from the sun and a process called photosynthesis, trees are able to provide us and other animals with fresh air! They absorb the carbon dioxide (CO₂) we breathe out and transform it into clean oxygen (O₂).
2. Forests are Home Sweet Home - whether it’s insects in the leaf litter, a bird in a tree or a squirrel jumping from branch to branch, you’re bound to see some sort of animal when you visit a forest. That’s because 2/3 of all the animal species in Canada call forests home. Now, that’s an important habitat worth protecting!
3. Forests Keep Things Cool- it always feels so refreshing to cool off in the shade on a hot day—and the bigger the tree, the better the shade. But that’s not the only way trees and forests help us stay cool.  
4. Forests Help in the Fight Against Climate Change!  -CO₂ is one of the greenhouse gases responsible for speeding up climate change. And what’s helping to slow it down? Forests!
5. Forests Give Us Lots Things - whether it’s the paper you use for taking notes, the cartons that hold your eggs or even the lumber used in your home, so many of the things we use every day come from forests.  
6. Forests Clean Water  - there’s nothing more refreshing than a cool drink of water. Did you know that you have the forest to thank for that too? The leaves on trees absorb rainfall and slowly release it into the soil, where it is filtered underground and eventually released into nearby lakes, reservoirs, and rivers.
7. Forests Help the Soil Stay Put - soil has a very important job when it comes to keeping an ecosystem healthy: it provides nutrients for plants and helps protect their roots. If the soil starts to wear away (erode) or dry up, it doesn’t just hurt the plants, it hurts the entire ecosystem.
8. Forests are Good for the Soul - do you ever feel refreshed and re-energized after playing among the trees? Studies have shown that being out in forests can improve your immune system, decrease stress and blood pressure, and improve your overall mood!
