Do we really care? We havn't even learnt to care for each other, and yet we have the arrogance to think we can care about the planet.

Which organism produces more than 50 percent of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere?
Contrary to popular secular belief, tree's don't actually produce the majority of the worlds oxygen, in fact, approximately 91.6% of the worlds oxygen is produced by phytoplankton blooms in the northern hemisphere of the ocean.
'How much oxygen does one tree produce'?
It requires 22 trees to produce the amount of oxygen consumed by one person. (An acre of trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people). This data comes from the Northwest Territories Forest Management site. Approximately 2 Moles per second Not all trees produce the same amount of oxygen in the same amount of time. 'Evergreen' trees for example generally produce less oxygen per hour than their leafy cousins per time interval generally, however they do continue producing oxygen when their leafy cousins lose their leaves in the autumn, and to a point even well into the cold of winter in many areas. The more green there is to a tree, in general, the more oxygen it will produce. The specific species of tree is important to consider, as well as the age, size and health of the tree. A healthy 4 year old apple tree will produce more oxygen per day of summer sun than a dozen 4 year old trimmed 'bonsai' trees, simply because the 4 year old apple tree has a much greater volume of chlorophyll laden leaves (and large leaves) than the bonsai trees do. The amount of oxygen produced is dependent on the amount of chlorophyll involved in the photosynthesis process. Although there is also the consideration of how much oxygen does the tree consume as well. (Plants do both, consuming oxygen and producing carbon dioxide, and consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. I presume you are asking about the NET oxygen production of the tree (which is the oxygen it produces minus the oxygen it uses. In order to know this, however, we would have to account for how much of the time it is receiving enough sunlight to achieve photosynthesis and how much oxygen it is producing during that time, less the amount of oxygen it is using during the entire day (and night) At night trees and other plants produce very little if any oxygen, but they continue cellular respiration (use of oxygen) at a lower rate.
What causes damage to the earth?
littering using to much gas and wasting paper if you use to much paper lumberers cut down more and more trees paper is made out of trees then we wont have any more trees which means we have no oxygen
What does it mean if rainforests are sometimes called the lung of the earth?
The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.
Is it true that rainforest are responsible for most global oxygen turnover?
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.
Do you get more oxygen from trees or the ocean?
From trees , they release co2 during breathing and release oxygen during photosynthesis
Why is it good to plant more trees?
It is good to plant more trees because they produce oxygen from the carbon-dioxide we exhale so if we didn't have trees uhh...no oxygen?
Can industry produce oxygen when there is no more trees?
No, because the plant and trees only give us oxygen.. Without them we will not be alive...
How cutting tree affect the rate of pollution in such ecosystem?
Trees produce oxygen. If the tree is cut down, it will no longer produce the oxygen that the ecosystem needs. So when we cut down trees, less oxygen is being produced, and the less oxygen produced, the more uneven the balance of pollution and oxygen.

Will planting more trees use up the suns energy?
NO! planting more trees will help the environment and will let lose more oxygen- oxygen actually helps the sun produce more energy. and think of all the trees that used to be on earth- practically the whole u.s used to be covered with them! so planting more trees just helps more trees be on earth and replacing the amount of trees that used to be on earth!
Do old trees or new trees give out more oxygen?
older trees because they have more time to develop the oxygen
How did the Iroquois use plants to survive?
plants, such as trees, can produce oxygen(air), also trees can be chopped down and used for wood to make houses and much more!
Why is the growth of coniferous trees an appropriate land use?
Growing more coniferous trees is beneficial to the environment because they produce oxygen. They also provide a home for animals to live in.
Top ten trees producing more oxygen ASKED BY VU2CRD?
You cannot determine which top ten trees produce the most oxygen. It does not go by the type of tree as much as it goes by the individual tree. A tree's age, and health impact how much oxygen is produced.
What would happen to the oxygen and carbon dioxide if your planted more trees?
Well the trees provide us with oxygen, and we provide them with carbon dioxide. So if you planted more trees, we'd have more oxygen and they'd have more carbon dioxide! :D
What causes the body to produce more oxygen?
Bodies don't produce oxygen. we breathe it in.
