How forests influence the quality of our air, soil and water resources? Explain.

Forests covers around 18-19% of earth’s surface. They help in improving our air, soil and water quality by,

● Plants intake carbon-di-oxide and release oxygen.


● They help in bringing rain since a large amount of water is released from plants during transpiration.


● After oceans forests are the largest carbon reserves.


● They help in preventing soil erosion by holding the soil firm.


● They provide shelter to animals and microorganisms.


● They help in maintaining water purity, since some plants have ability to purify water.


● Increases the soil moisture content making it habitable for microorganisms and ultimately microorganisms increase the soil fertility.
