Saturday, November 21, 2020 - 13.25
SMK MUTU TUBABA - International tree day is celebrated every November 21 in every year. Many people don't realize that one tree has many benefits, you know! Not only can it support living things around it, but also can maintain the sustainability of other living things on earth.
Do you want to know what are the roles and benefits of trees for life? Check out the following explanation!
First, as a producer of oxygen and carbon absorber.Trees can clean the air from particles that pollute the air. Urban trees are also able to save an average of one life per year in each city because they clean the air from dirty particles.
Second, trees are also often referred to as the 'lungs of the earth' because the oxygen produced by trees is beneficial for other living things. A tree can absorb as much as 48 tons of carbon dioxide per year. When it is 40 years old, a tree can also absorb one ton of carbon dioxide.
Third, as a Home for Flora and Fauna
Apart from being useful for humans, trees are also useful for wildlife and other plants as a place to live, nest, find food and reproduce. By protecting trees, it means we are also conserving natural resources.
Furthermore, trees also provide clean water and control temperature. Trees also have a role in providing clean water. Forests provide a natural filtration and storage system that processes nearly all fresh water supplies. Urban trees can also play a role in lowering city temperature levels. The average air temperature in cities with 1 million inhabitants or more can be 1-3 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area.
Finally, Control the Flood
Trees in the forests in high areas store a large amount of water which should flow downhill and flow along the city's rivers. Without the presence of these trees, water will flow without obstacles and can cause flooding to landslides. Beachside trees such as cypresses or mangroves also play a role in preventing abrasion.
Let's protect and plant trees, happy World Tree Day! (Asr / adr)
