Role of forest in influencing the quality of

Air :

• It helps in purifying the air by adding oxygen into it.
• It takes carbon dioxide gas during photosynthesis thus greenhouse effect is controlled.
• Transpiration helps in the formation of clouds and thus, it maintains the temperature of surrounding area, giving cooling effect.
