Forests influence the quality of our air, soil, and water resources in various ways. Some of them are
(i) Forests balance the percentages of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere. The increasing amount of carbon dioxide caused by human activities is balanced by a larger intake of carbon dioxide by plants during the process of photosynthesis. Simultaneously, a large amount of oxygen is released.
(ii) Forests prevent soil erosion. Roots of plants bind the soil tightly in a way that the surface of the soil cannot be eroded away by wind, water, etc.
(iii) Forests help in the replenishment of water resources. During the process of transpiration, a huge amount of water vapour goes into the air and condenses to form clouds. These clouds cause rainfall that recharge water bodies.

⏬ANSWER⏬
Forest is a large area covered thickly with trees and other plants such as shurbs and grasses. Any forest is a renewable natural resource. Forests influence the air, water and soil resources in following ways:
• Forests shape natural environment by influencing such factors as temperature, humidity and precipitation.
• Forests shape the soil environment by affecting its composition, structure, the chemical properties, water contents, etc.
• Forests play important role in running the biogeochemical cycles of water, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and other elements.
• Forest plants maintain the CO2 and O2 balance in the atmosphere.
• Roots of forest plants bind the soil and do not allow erosion of soil by fast winds or fast moving water. In this way they help in maintaining the fertility of the soil. Many bacteria present in root nodules (e.g., Rhizobium bacteria in root nodules of leguminous plants) replenish to the soil.
• Forests check flooding, landslides and shifting of sand and silting of rivers.
