Ecological and Environmental Value

Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, "One acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide and puts out four tons of oxygen. This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 people." Trees, shrubs and turf also filter air by removing dust and absorbing other pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. After trees intercept unhealthy particles, rain washes them to the ground.

Why Trees Are Important

Trees control climate by moderating the effects of the sun, rain and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun's radiant energy, keeping things cool in summer. Trees also preserve warmth by providing a screen from harsh wind. In addition to influencing wind speed and direction, they shield us from the downfall of rain, sleet and hail. Trees also lower the air temperature and reduce the heat intensity of the greenhouse effect by maintaining low levels of carbon dioxide.

Both above and below ground, trees are essential to the eco-systems in which they reside. Far reaching roots hold soil in place and fight erosion. Trees absorb and store rainwater which reduce runoff and sediment deposit after storms. This helps the ground water supply recharge, prevents the transport of chemicals into streams and prevents flooding. Fallen leaves make excellent compost that enriches soil.

Many animals, including elephants, koalas and giraffes eat leaves for nourishment. Flowers are eaten by monkeys, and nectar is a favorite of birds, bats and many insects. Animals also eat much of the same fruit that we enjoy This process helps disperse seeds over great distances. Of course, hundreds of living creatures call trees their home. Leaf-covered branches keep many animals, such as birds and squirrels, out of the reach of predators.

vedaxcool: Islam, remains a religion that is total, from how Muslim shoud relate with one another, to even how to clean up after toilet, Islam did not leave anything behind. Including the Enivronment.

No Muslim plants a tree or crop, and its fruit is eaten by birds, people, or animals, except that it will be regarded as charity for him." (Bukhari)

But how important are trees to mankind?






Islam makes protecting the environment the same thing as giving our money from wealth, imagine the impact Muslims can make on the world by just keeping our paths paved with the way of Allah? Now you go out there and make some efforts planting new trees!

More Insha Allah!

Albaniy: it seems you lack the basic knowledge of science dont you know that trees consume the carbon in the atmosphere and provides oxygen for respiration or dont you know about carbon cycle if you dont google it up this is just 7th grade biology you dont need to panic.

donniemc:

From your reply its obvious you know Nothing about ancient or current History, But hey imma refresh your memory

1]Nigeria 2011 - 2012 ---> 3,000 killed
