Why are trees important? - My Pictures for Today 04-01-2018 (2/4)

  • Trees are a major source of nectar and pollen for bees. Also on resin, of course, wood and other valuable products.
  • One of their main functions is to provide fruit.
  • Grow in places where grass does not grow, such as rocky hills and peaks. The mountains are absolutely unsuitable for farming but are suitable for trees. Therefore, they are not a competitor to agriculture, but on the contrary, they support it by ensuring a constant flow in the rivers.
  • Creates precipitation. It does the following. I have already mentioned that they draw moisture from the soil and underground waters to 60 m depth and through the leaves it evaporates. This creates humid air. In May and June the sun shines. This humid air is warmed by the sun and rises up and down (across the hills and mountains), facing the cold upper air, where condensation and cloudy clouds and heavy rainfall develop in the afternoon. If they did not have the trees, they would not have this rainfall, and on a local level, they did not have a cyclone or influence on the Atlantic ocean.
