Unfortunately, today not everyone remembers that living trees are our ecosystem. It is worth it to disappear, and the world's usual will collapse, leaving only the ashes handful. Perhaps some will say that such a statement is too pessimistic, and that today scientists will be able to find a way out even such a difficult situation.
However, in reality, such people do not understand how valuable wood can be. Simpar simplicity will not be able to exist without these amazing representatives of the flora, and humanity - all the more. And in order to prove it, let's talk about what the roles are playing in the life of our planet.
What is a tree?
So, any tree is a living organism. I think every person on the planet knows how it looks. The basis of everything is the obsessive trunk, on which hundreds, or even thousands of branches are located. They associate this giant with the outside world through leaves or needles growing on them. However, the heart of the Tree should be considered the roots, because they exactly draw strength from the ground, and also hold it in equilibrium.
To date, there are about 100,000 trees varieties. But at the same time, they can be divided into several simple classes. For example, coniferous and deciduous, evergreen and deciduous. But we will leave the classification by scientists, let's talk better about what kind of benefits are brought by the planet.
Trees as an integral part of the ecosystem
It so happened that the trees are some of the oldest inhabitants of the Earth. They appeared here long before the first people and survived not one dozen global cataclysms. During this time, they managed to create a strong symbiosis with the inhabitants of the planet, which often makes itself felt.
For example, most animals have accustomed to dwell in the forest. For them, this is a natural environment, their home. It is only worth starting in the forest, and the animals will immediately go away from these lands. After all, they simply will not be able to survive in such conditions, since the deciduous giants gave them a shelter and food.
Or take, for example, branches of trees. Everyone knows that it is on them that the birds come with nests and spend most of their time. Again, chopping the branches - and the feathered will be forced to look for a new shelter. Naturally, some will succeed. However, there will be those who will not be able to overcome millions of years of evolution and will certainly die in their search.
What the planet breathes
Oxygen is the basis of life. If it does not become, then the days of humanity will be considered. Moreover, even a slight decrease in the oxygen level in the atmosphere can lead to tragic consequences. In particular, cause a significant increase in temperature, which will lead to natural cataclysms.
All living trees isolated oxygen. Consequently, they are the same air generators that are so necessary for life on Earth. Because of this, forest arrays are quite often called light planets. In addition, the trees absorb carbon dioxide, which is a strong toxin. So, if they are not, there will be no one to clean the air from this poison. Therefore, the more trees grow on the planet, the freer can breathe people.
Tree as a source of food
For many animals, the forest is the main source of food. So, some animals bend the branches of the trees and eat leaves from them. Other more pleasant to collect fruits or cones falling on Earth. For example, the beloved food of a wild boar are acorns, but the beaver is not to be off to enjoy simple wood.
The person also learned to use the gifts of nature for itself. Thanks to his efforts today there is not one thousand fruit gardens. At the same time, the diversity of the fruits that they bring, rightly excitement. Take, for example, the same mango or dates, which have long been considered one of the best delicacies.
Also, do not forget that some fruits are used not only as food, but also as components for the preparation of other dishes. This is at least the usual fruit based on his fruit learned to produce exquisite oil and mayonnaise.
Beautiful trees as part of the city landscape
Alas, for most residents of the megalpolis, a trip to the forest is a prisoner dream. Because of the dense work schedule, only a few can be selected in nature, and it is not for long. Given this, it is not surprising that humanity seeks to recreate a kind of forest like in their cities.
Miloid parks, decorative alleys and squares are all small particles of wildlife. It would have a good, there is nothing unusual in them, but it is worth removing beautiful trees from our streets, and the city will become dark and deserted. Agree, there is few people like this picture and will quickly lead to deep depression.
And besides, trees are a good filter. Converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, they purify the streets of the metropolis from malicious smell and ugara. And the leaves absorb dust, so that it stops to twist in the air.
Trees-defenders
Sometimes trees compare with silent guards, and there is a worthy explanation. The thing is that they are able to protect the land on which they grow. And this happens as follows.
First, the roots of the trees fasten the ground, making it more durable and solid. Under normal conditions, it is not enough of this, but if we are talking about coastal zones, then everything changes dramatically. So, the roots fastened with roots is not so much blurred by water, thanks to which the coast is becoming more stable.
Secondly, all living trees can protect the Earth from wind erosion. Like a stone wall, they are alone with the blows of air gusts and even hurricanes. That is why today it is customary to plant a tree around the perimeter of the field or the garden.
Aesthetic use of trees
Do not forget about the aesthetic function of trees. Many writers and poets were looking for inspirations on the lap of nature, looking at the charming outlines of the forest. And how many wonderful poems was dedicated to evergreens or exotic palm trees! Not to mention, on how many paintings artists depicted an unusually high tree or the same taiga forest. Shishkin canvas - generally a separate topic for conversation ...
In addition, the recent studies of psychologists indicate that their nature is significantly improving the emotional background. It is enough to get into the forest 2-3 times a month, and the chance of falling into depression will decrease several times. Agree, such a method is much cheaper and more pleasant than the reception of tablets or hiking to the same psychologists.
Trees like raw materials for production
In addition to all of the above, trees are also used in various industries. For example, time impact people use wood in the construction of various structures. Even today there is no such building in which a tree or its by-products would not be used.
But that's not all. Thanks to the progress, a person learned to use the gifts of nature in the creation of new, before that unprecedented materials. For example, one of the first such discoveries was the appearance of paper. And she, in turn, contributed to the development of writing, and subsequently and literacy of the population.
Also, due to the resin, the humanity allocated was invented by rubber. We think, it is not worth talking about how simply it simplifies, for example, imagine that it would be with cars if they were deprived of rubber tires.
And similar examples can be brought by a great set. However, they all indicate the same thing: trees are one of the most valuable natural resources on the planet.
Do not forget about the main thing!
Despite the importance of forests, today many neglect them. Every year, people cut out thousands of hectares of forest arrays, without thinking about the consequences. But they may soon give themselves to know. And then not only commercial organizations will suffer, but also the entire population of the Earth.
However, we can affect this process. It is enough just to start carefully to treat nature and not forget that we are part of it. And changes will begin to manifest themselves by changing this world for the better.
