Importance of Trees :Trees are an essential part
of human life, and mankind has always depended on them. In addition to
providing us with oxygen, trees make the air healthier by absorbing carbon
dioxide. To combat global warming and combat climate change, deforestation, and the
promotion of afforestation are urgently needed. Trees are a great gift from
nature to mankind and other creatures.
They provide us with fresh air, shade in
summer, and protection from natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.
The absence of trees increases the severity of floods and hurricanes.
According
to environmentalists, 25% of the total land area of any country should
be covered by forests, but forests in Pakistan cover only 4% of the
total area, and their rapid deforestation can lead to climate change and
natural disasters. From an environmental point of
view, the health of the citizens of a country with 35% forest area will be
better than in other countries. Planting : Planting is a big deal, but regular protection and watering of the
plant is an even greater responsibility because planting goals can
only be achieved if you protect it until he grows up.
A
tree planting campaign was carried out several times in Pakistan. Billions of
rupees are planted at the government level every year,
but desired goals are not achieved due to lack of protection after
planting. Although we cannot grow forests in our country individually, we can
grow trees on ours. Drought Prevention : In addition, to lower the temperature, there
are many other benefits of trees. If it is said that trees
play an important role in drought prevention, it is not surprising. Trees
planted in forests and cities play an important role in maintaining water
circulation. Water is absorbed through the roots of the tree and then the tree
releases this water into the air through the leaves, which maintains the
moisture content in the air. This whole process is called transpiration. Trees
absorb rainwater from leaves and evaporate it to form rain clouds, according to
research by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in the Brazilian capital, Rio, a few hundred
years ago. According to researcher David Ellison, rain forests not only keep
rivers flowing during dry seasons and rains but also play a key role
in minimizing water and flood risks. The connection between the tree and the
water is very complex. Studies on local irrigation show that trees actually
send water from one system to another. Growing trees absorb water from the soil
and release it into the air. Evaporation : The leaves of the tree act as a repellent,
absorbing rainwater and causing it to rain elsewhere. The whole process
is known as evaporation, says Ellison. “Along with the
climate change, the worst droughts are becoming more common, and we're
wasting opportunities to use trees effectively to affect the water
cycle.”Evaporationis a major contributor to translocation,
with an average of 50 percent of the world's summer rainfall and 40 percent of
the annual rainfall. There will be very bad effects. Similarly, planting
trees in drought-affected areas can lead to future rains.
Flood Protection : Trees also play an
important role in flood protection due to their ability to absorb
floodwater. Research from the University of Birmingham and Southampton in the
United Kingdom shows that trees can reduce flood waves in urban areas
by up to 20%. Dr. Simon Dixon, a professor at the University of Birmingham's
Institute of Forest Research and who led the study, said: In just 10 to
15 percent of the total length of the river, the obstruction in the
form of trees reduced the height of the rising waves in the flood condition of
the river by 6 percent. And if trees are planted at twenty to twenty-five
percent of the river's length, it can reduce the height of future flood waves
by up to twenty percent. Problems have been given the least importance, but in
fact, it is a big problem. According to a report published in the World Wildlife Funds (WWF),
over the last one and a half centuries, topsoil around the world has been lost
due to erosion.
Increases soil fertility :Trees combine water and soil to increase its fertility. Soil fertility is the
guarantor of a good crop. The leaves, and twigs that fall from the tree
fall to the ground and become decomposed, becoming food for the insects of the
earth. All these organic substances increase the natural fertility of the soil.
According to environmentalists, as the number of trees and wildlife increases,
so does the fertility of the land and the crops that grow in it, and will
become more nutritious.
Noise Pollution : Noise pollution is the result of unnaturally negative
activities in the natural environment. This pollution affects parts of our
sound. In the name of progress in human life, deforestation, construction of
multi-storied buildings, high-rise mobile phone towers for communication
systems are increasing noise pollution. This form of pollution is affecting
urban areas more rapidly than rural areas. According to environmentalists,
adequate housing is one of the biggest problems facing the world's
growing population. Global Warming :global warming is a major problem facing environmentalists, and
every country in the world is trying to tackle it on its own .https://www.britannica.com/plant/tree But despite all
efforts, the earth's temperature is rising day by day, part of which is cutting
down trees, and not planting new trees. In the last few years, Pakistan,
especially Shar-e-Quaid, has been experiencing extremely hot weather,
mainly due to lack of urban planning, relentless deforestation to cater to the
rapidly growing population, which has made this mega city a hotbed of
climate change. Made unsafe to tolerate changes. Rising Global Temperatures : Rising global temperatures are
threatening the lives of more than a billion people, according to a
non-governmental organization, Sustainable Energy for all. They are also
deprived of facilities like refrigerators, ACs. Trees are a source of
happiness. Trees also provide health and happiness to the people. There is a
scientific explanation for this if you feel calm in the shade of a tenacious
tree. Sitting in the shade of a tree or the image
of a tree or forest affects the central nervous system and calms it. This part
of the nervous system consists of two parts, sympathetic and parasympathetic.❤☺
