The answer is that they do.

Terrestrial plant account for 52% of the oxygen production, and aquatic only 48%.

Of that 52%, almost all of it is by rain forests. Agricultural crops produce some oxygen, but end up as a wash because of all the use of oxygen in the planting, cultivation, harvesting, processing, and distribution.

Rain forests are the single most important contribution to global oxygen production.

How does the Amazon Rainforest produce oxygen?

20% of the world's oxygen comes from the amazon rainforest.


How does the Amazon rainforest produce oxygen in the air?

The Amazon rainforest produces oxygen through photosynthesis, a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. This oxygen is released into the air as a byproduct, contributing to the overall oxygen supply on Earth. The vast number of plants and trees in the Amazon rainforest make it a crucial source of oxygen production.


What Continent produce the most oxygen?

The Amazon Rainforest in South America produces the most oxygen in the world, contributing a significant portion of the Earth's oxygen supply.


How much of the worlds oxygen do rainforest's produce?

the answer is not nearly as much as people would imagine. the truth is the majority of the planets plant based oxygen production/carbon neutralization comes from ocean based blooms. Forest as such produce around 25% on average but you should also consider that the Taiga forest for example (that nobody ever talks about) absorbs more carbon and produces more oxygen than all the other temperate and tropical forests on the planet combined. This probably doesn't sit too well with Amazon conservationists but they should realize and focus on the real ecological damage done by deforestation there - which certainly ISN'T large scale oxygen depletion.


What is the importance of a rainforest?

rainforests are important because trees make oxygen, and if the rainforests wil disappear, a lot of rainforest animals, such as the touucan, the jaguar and the macaw, will disappear with them.

Why do rainforest's produce forty percent of oxygen?

The rainforest is mostly trees and trees produce oxygen. So if there are a lot of trees like in the rainforest, there will be a ton of oxygen coming from the rainforest.


How does the rainforest impact humans?

The rainforest impacts us because it takes in all the nasty carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. The rainforests around the world are slowing down global warming and if they go we'll all die.

What are the positives about the rainforest?

Rain, and the production of oxygen.


How much oxygen comes from the rainforests of the world?

Absolutely wrong, rainforest doesnt produce oxygen at all, it has an OXYGENE TURNOVER, as O2 is released AND absorbed, overall it has almost no impact on the amount of O2 in the world, the only way more O2 is produced than it is consumed is by "Locking" carbon in plants, in other words, the only way for the rainforest to produce O2 is by growing, if it doesnt GROW, it doesnt produce any O2, and if it shrinks, it is releasing CO2.


How can you stop global warming in the rainforest?

Global warming is happening everywhere, so to stop it in the rainforest you have to stop it where it is being caused, in the big polluting countries of China and the USA. You stop it by moving to renewable energy, so we can stop burning coal and oil to generate electricity. That is the only way.

What organism produce about half of the oxygen?

Marine phytoplankton, such as diatoms and cyanobacteria, are responsible for producing about half of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. These tiny organisms play a vital role in the global oxygen cycle and support the health of marine ecosystems.
