WHERE CAN YOU PLANT TREES
Planting trees on denuded and waste land, along roads, deserted areas, protects soil from erosion by wind or water by firmly binding it with roots and by protected. Trees also retain moisture in the soil and if nitrogen- fixing trees are grown, the nutrients status of the soil can be enriched tremendously. Leaves contain certain chemicals that have a purgative action on the digestive organs of grazing animals like goats, cows and baffalo, trees or shrubs especially TIST trees act as biological filters by helping cleansing the environment. Indigenous trees like omuremankobe lasts long for about 40 years. Trees improve the following (a) The validly of the air we breathe. (b)Act as oxygen banks on this planet. (c) They reduce pollution. (d) They reduce oxides of carbon in the air. (e) Trees help to reduce temperature by providing shades (f)Trees absorb and reflecting solar radiation, especially in wormer places.

This carbon gets stored in their leaves, branches, trunks and roots. The amount of carbon that is stored in the trees directly corresponds to the size of the tree. On average, carbon makes up half of a tree’s dry weight, so the larger the tree the more carbon it keeps. Sadly the world’s forest are actively being destroyed at an alarming rate when trees get cut and dry (die) and they don’t just lose their ability to absorb more carbon but they also release much of the carbon they were absorbing back into the atmosphere hence leading to global warming or even desertification
