About The Basis
Forest Coverage on Earth
As you probably already know, TheBasis of life on our entire planet is trees and the area of land is slightly more than 4 billion hectares, but not all of these lands are covered with forests, this number includes roads. Glades. Forest swaths. If you subtract their area, then there will be only about 2.47 billion hectares, which is 0.8 hectares per person. For our planet it’s not much.
So is there enough forest on the planet?
Importance of Trees
Trees are vital to the planet. They enrich the atmosphere with oxygen, trees play a huge role in the water cycle on the planet. They take moisture from the soil, filter it and release it into the environment, thereby increasing the humidity of the air. Trees lift underground water, enrich the soil, protect it from erosion and desertification, so without forests, rivers become shallow immediately.
