How does exactly planting trees helps the environment? Is it possible that planting too many trees without planning it carefully would lead to bad consequences?
In: Biology
For a start there are far too few trees. This is called deforestation and has been happening for decades.
Trees and other plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce oxygen and water by a process called photosynthesis.
Without this process, we wouldn’t have enough oxygen on the planet to live.
Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas. One of the big ones causing climate change.
The more trees we have the more oxygen and the less Carbon Dioxide.
So it makes the world a brighter better place.
Could there be too many trees? The answer to that is no, we’ve cut so many down over the years to make way for cities and cattle farms that we’d need to grow a hell of a lot of trees just to catch up to where the world was in terms of numbers.
That said, generally speaking you plan where you will plant things so that you don’t upset the balance of stuff.
