Why Trees

Reducing the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect caused by CO2 gas which release pollutants into the air and accumulates in the atmosphere. The tree is a "glutton" CO2 greedy. In its growth, shaping the tree trunk, mainly from carbon is absorbed for photosynthesis. A tree can absorb 6 kg of CO2 per year. Because it's 1-acre (± 4047 m2) of forests containing young trees absorb 2.5 tons CO2/tahun. Trees reach maximum capacity to absorb CO2 around the age of 10 years. A tree planted in urban areas (which in fact have higher levels of pollution CO2) equivalent in value to the absorption of CO2 by 15 trees in the forest. 

"If you think for one year ahead, plant seed.
If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree. "

The sentence above is a wise Chinese proverb that has existed since 500 years before Christ. In the past it was very well aware of the importance of trees. This sort of ironic, because in those days, the number of trees that cover the earth's surface relatively more from now. Also, the level of development that causes the pollution is still not as high as today. However, the existence of a tree has been realized very well benefit, reflected in the wise words above. Why a tree is so important, to the extent seen as "enough stock" to live ten years into the future? The answer is none other is because a tree is not able to provide many benefits. In the past, the tree is a provider of shade, food, and firewood for people. Now, at times more complex forms of life, the role of trees was also increased. Here you can see 30 reasons why trees are very useful for human life.

Improving the quality of ground water. Trees reduce surface flow (run-off), because the roots absorb water that falls to the ground. More water is absorbed into the ground means more opportunities to improve the quality and quantity of groundwater. It also reduces ground water contamination by chemicals in the soil surface.

Trees clean the air we breathe. Particles of dust, CO, SO2, and other pollutants will be absorbed by the plants so that we can breathe better air quality. Dry air and heat can be overcome by planting trees. The trees will increase the humidity of the atmosphere and in turn could reduce water consumption (eg; for watering plants).
Reduce soil erosion especially in sloping land. When rain falls, the tree roots will absorb water. If nothing is absorbed, the water flowing on the surface will bring a layer of soil, particularly the fertile topsoil.
If considered as a whole, the trees that grow in a city can be "cool" city. Cities are heat islands (heat island) where the temperature 5-9 degrees higher than suburbs. And every year, the city tends to expand into the suburbs. Thus, heat islands are created gradually getting bigger. Trees in particular are large titled able to cool the city through the canopy and shadow evaporation process that releases water vapor into the air.

Trees planted near water bodies to prevent silting of water bodies and narrowing. Erosion by surface runoff and soil will bring precipitate in the river and the sea. In addition, trees that grow near water (eg mangrove plant species) provides an ideal habitat for aquatic animals such as crabs. Well, you certainly do not want to not when fifty years from now, your grandchildren can not enjoy the delicious crabs from the crab sauce fields have nowhere to live anymore.

Houses that have trees and ornamental plants are arranged neatly to increase the selling price. Because the overall appearance of the home become more beautiful.

On a scale of housing, trees and gardens will add to the beauty of the environment. No wonder that today many developers are deliberately set aside the rather broad land to create parks housing. With the garden, more beautiful and lush environment, the selling price also tends to be higher.

In addition to the aesthetic function, which planted trees lined the side of the road could serve as a marker of the area and shows the direction / steering. The condition of urban slums and arid can be improved by planting trees and create a garden city.

Depending on the number, size, and location of growth, the presence of trees can reduce the cost of air conditioning usage by 30%. Mature tree, through the evaporation process can produce a cooling effect equivalent to a normal room size air conditioner that operates for 20 hours a day.

Reduce stress. Having tired of working all day, is very convenient when when he got home we were greeted by a beautiful green garden. Efficacy of trees in reducing stress is evidenced by research in the laboratory. A number of volunteers who saw a picture of forest has decreased levels of blood pressure and muscle tension significantly after five minutes.

Based on research conducted at several hospitals in America, a patient room overlooking the park, recover faster than patients who simply "enjoy" the wall of the building.

The condition of the earth's increasingly hot, apparently also affects the temperament of an increasingly harsh and brutal. This mainly happens in urban areas that are much less have a wooded area. Trees can provide a cooler environment, comfortable and relaxed. This condition is psychologically will help "cool" urban human temperament.

Trees also provide cheap recreation place for you and the kids. Sitting under a shady tree and read a book and enjoy a simple lunch is a fun recreation but do not drain the wallet. By being in nature, because you can teach science to children living in more real.

Certain trees have medical value that can be utilized, either for its own purposes or commercial purposes. For example, by drying and packing the trees which merit to be sold as an herbal remedy.

Planting trees and shrubs will significantly reduce noise pollution, especially for homes located on the edge of a busy highway.  Planting trees in a row and will act as a barrier layered view to enhance the privacy of residents. Trees and shrubs are planted around the home can soften the "hard lines" of the building. Trees also have the potential to produce a gentle breeze from the friction foliage which give effect to comfort for the occupants of the house.

The image of the tree canopy can reduce the effects of glare from the road and car park plus make it more cool.  If you are fond of planting the trees are planted in the yard will help the growth of other smaller garden. The presence of trees creates micro-climate that makes the environment for other plants is more convenient to reduce wind and heat that can cause stress for plants. Trees also protect from peeled off the top soil or humus layer of fertile and useful for plant growth.

Fruit trees are you planting in the courtyard will provide fresh agricultural products and more healthy because it is free of pesticides. Planting trees in large numbers can maintain the availability of wood supply for the needs of home building materials and furniture. In addition to cleaning the air, the presence of trees, especially flowering can scent the air. An example is the cherry tree can scent the air with 200,000 flowers during spring. Tree-especially that produce fruits or nuts is a comfortable home for wild animals such as squirrels and birds. Of course, very convenient if you are greeted by the morning chirping of birds.
