Trees give
us clean air, water, and food, store carbon, stabilize soil, bring life to the
world's wildlife, and make the earth a beautiful livable place.

| What is the Importance of Trees in Our Life? |
Why Should We Plant More
Trees? - Benefits of Trees
Trees are a small part of
the creatures of God Almighty, but it is one of the most important assets of
nature, as trees from the lungs of the planet and its great breathing space
from which it gets oxygen.
The tree is not just an
ordinary creature, but rather one of the largest products on earth, and it has
great significance and many benefits, some of which are beyond the mind of most
people.
Trees give an aesthetic
appearance to nature and give it elegance and charm, as the green color that is
covered with it brings in the soul peace, joy, and reassurance.
A tree forms a habitat for
many living creatures that build their homes on it, such as: birds, squirrels,
and many small creatures that take shelter in tree hollows, and it also helps
protect the various living creatures that use trees as a hiding place to help
them camouflage and hide from enemies.
The benefits of trees are
not limited to the fact that they give different types of fruits, as they
provide the shade in which creatures rest.
People also obtain from
trees the wood from which the furniture and many crafts and tools are
made, as well as paper and firewood that are used as fuel for heating, are
extracted from them. Trees fruits, leaves and branches are fodder for many
animals.
Trees also have a very
important role in preserving the environment, as they purify the atmosphere
from pollutants and air polluted with dust and carbon dioxide, prevent dust
from flying, help to soften the atmosphere through the transpiration process
carried out by their leaves, and reduce the occurrence of global warming.
Trees' roots hold in the
soil and prevent it from eroding, and they calm the wind and slow down its
speed.
Importance of Trees in Our
Life
Trees are our lifeline to
improve air quality by producing oxygen, store carbon, moderate the effects of
sun and wind, and clean the air by trapping dust, pollen, and other pollutants.

| What are the benefits of trees? |
The following are the most
important benefits trees provide to humans:
Trees Release Oxygen
Life without trees is
impossible. The tree provides humans with the oxygen that we breathe. .
4,046.85 square meters of mature trees provide enough oxygen for eighteen
people. Ten mature leafy trees produce oxygen enough for ten people to breathe
in one season for an entire year.
The tree also absorbs,
stores, and releases carbon dioxide that contributes to climate change as
oxygen. 4,046.85 square meters of mature trees absorb as much carbon dioxide as
the amount emitted from a car that drove 26,000 miles.
Trees also act as a giant
purifier that cleans the air, in addition to removing air pollution by cooling
the temperature and intercepting particles in the air.
Trees Improve the Soil
It is well-known that trees
help improve soil fertility and reduce the effect of erosive forces using their
root systems and foliage.
Trees increase the soil's
ability to absorb and retain water, moderate soil temperatures, maintain high
levels of organic matter in the soil, and produce nutrients for plants.
Soil remediation is a
method of soil purification and revitalization. The tree absorbs dangerous
chemicals and pollutants in the soil, which is called phytoremediation, and the
tree stores harmful pollutants or transforms them into less harmful
forms.
Trees work to purify the
soil and clean it of pollutants, roadside spills, filter sewage water, and
agricultural chemicals, reduce the effects of animal waste, and purify spilled
and running water, this is known as phytotherapy, and they also help to maintain
soil erosion.
Trees Influence Wind Speed
Trees affect wind speed,
reduce air temperatures and humidity and protect your home. Trees act as
windbreaks and shelterbelts during storms and cold climates, as they contribute
to reducing the wind velocities, home heating bill by up to 30 percent, and
also protect crops and pastures from drying winds.
Research studies have
suggested that croplands protected by windbreaks showed an increase in
productivity.
Trees Help Fight Climate
Change
Trees provide many benefits
to our atmosphere as they help fight climate change, prevent flooding, reduce
city temperature and keep soil nutrient-rich.
The tree is famous for its
cold shade as shade reduces the need for air conditioning in summer, and in
winter the tree breaks down the winter winds, which leads to lower heating
costs.
Trees absorb carbon
dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. The carbon stored in the trees
and soil helps slow the rate of global warming.
Some studies have shown
that areas without a cold shade of trees can be heat islands.
Trees Provide Nourishment
and Healing
The tree provides food for
humans, birds and wildlife as a whole. Seeing trees and meditating on
nature helps reduce mental fatigue.
Studies have shown that
patients who have a view of trees from their windows cure diseases faster with
fewer complications. Just as children with ADHD show fewer symptoms when they
have the possibility of being in nature.
Trees Help Improve Mental
Health
Being around trees is good
for our mental and social well-being. Trees and green environments support
relaxation.
Spending time around trees
and looking at trees relieves anxiety, stress, and depression and improves
overall mental health and mood, in addition to that, living near trees speeds
up the healing process from diseases.
Several studies show that
both exercising in forests and sitting just by looking at trees reduce
stress-related hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.
Trees Help the Economy Grow
Trees play vital social
and economic functions, including providing goods and services, such as food
income and employment, which are necessary conditions for promoting inclusive
and sustainable economic growth.
Studies have shown that
average house prices are 5% to 18% higher when they are close to mature trees.
People are drawn to live,
work, and invest in green surroundings, and companies benefit from a healthier
and happier workforce if there are gardens and trees close to the workplace.
Trees also provide
ecosystem services that are critical to the well-being of all humankind.
Trees Increase Property
Value
The proximity of healthy,
beautiful trees increases property value because it increases the aesthetic
property.
Good tree cover increases
property prices by up to 7% or more in residential areas and 18% for building
lots.
Quality landscaping with
healthy trees can increase property values by as much as 20 percent.
Conclusion:
Trees are nature's
greatest gift that must be looked after with real care.
Trees give us oxygen,
store carbon, stabilize soil, provide us with the materials for tools and
shelter, bring life to the world's wildlife, and make the earth a
beautiful livable place.
Trees also play a vital
role in photosynthesis by converting solar energy into chemical energy.
It's time to protect
forests, save trees, and spread awareness. The most important step is to stop
cutting the tree and increase tree planting and protect it from forest fires
that cause the destruction of many trees.
Trees need many years to grow and enlarge, and it is not permissible to disregard tree cover, because cutting trees portends real environmental disasters and directly affects humans, animals, and even plants.
