Best Answer

Trees create a micro climate above their canopy by the generation of water vapour expired from their leaves and the release of essential oils. These oil particles are the right size to trigger the formation of water droplets. This is why rain forests make rain and cloud forests make clouds. Sailors lost in the ocean would steer towards a lone cloud because below it would usually be a small island of refuge. Take the trees away and no cloud would form. We cut trees down at our peril but if we do we must plant 10 to 100 seedlings to mitigate the damage. The invention of the chainsaw allowed man to cut trees without effort and is probably the most destructive tool ever devised.
