Afforestation, planting more trees, stabilises the soil, preventing erosion by water and even landslides. This means that rainfall is more likely to seep into the ground, rather than washing the soil into rivers and streams where it becomes silt.

What is silting of a port?
Silting refers to the build-up of silt on the bottom of the harbor or port. This build-up or silting will reduce the effective depth of the harbor or port, and dredging will have to be conducted to remove it to restore depth to the port. Silting results from the emptying of a river or waterway into a bay where the port is located, or it could result from the action of tides and/or currents in the ocean. Any of these represent the action of moving water, and when water moves, it can carry with in any number of things, including fine sediment that settles out as silt.

How does afforestation offset global warming?
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.

Why is afforestation important?
Afforestation is important because it tries to balance the deforestation that has already taken place around the world. Trees are planted where the land is barren so that forests are created. Growing vegetation like forests is the only thing we have that will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so forests reduce the speed of global warming.
Why should a worldwide afforestation programme be considered?
Afforestation is almost always a good idea. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, really the only way we can reduce greenhouse gas levels there. Trees have many other positive effects on the environment, being good for birds and animals as well as soil retention and stability.
