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.

∙ 12y agoYes, this is because of the large amount of trees in a Rain Forest. They both produce the same oxygen, one produces more just because of the vast amount of trees.

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 produces 20 % of the world's oxygen. But deforestation is bringing that percentage down drastically.
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 is the depleting rainforest a problem?
it is a problem because if we do not have rain forests, then there will be no rain and less oxygen
What helps maintain global oxygen concentrations in the troposphere?
Green plants, as they carry out photosynthesis, are constantly releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
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 Amazon Rainforest produce oxygen?
20% of the world's oxygen comes from the amazon 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 resources do you get from rainforest?
oxygen,medicine,and wood
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.
What are the positives about the rainforest?
Rain, and the production of oxygen.
What two elements are most responsible for causing the greenhouse effect?
Carbon and Oxygen. Together they make Carbon Dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
Which blood component is responsible for oxygen exchange?
Red blood cells are responsible for oxygen exchange
What is Abiotic in the tropical rainforest?
water, sunlight, minerals, oxygen
Is oxygen level higher in rainforest than desert?
yes
What does a polar bear bear need in a rainforest?
Polar bears do not live in the rainforest but they do depend upon it for the oxygen it produces.
What impacts does the destruction of the Amazon rainforest have?
Deconstruction of the rainforest means that there will be less oxygen that the trees produce. And it takes awy animals habitats away.
