How does cutting trees affect us humans?

Answer 1

• Trees take in CO2 and give out Oxygen - Trees supply some of the Oxygen we breathe.
• The things that grow on the trees are beneficial to us because they are good natural products which can be used in herbal medicines and fruits to eat can be grown and eaten.
• If there is too much Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, this can cause Acid Rain which destroys wildlife and things made out of limestone - lots of destruction.
• You are destroying animals habitats and that is bad because we need to eat meat and many animals rely on plants growing on trees for food.
• When we cut down trees in forests such as The Amazon Rainforest we are destroying the forest peoples' homes as well - everything that they have adapted to is gone so they can't live naturally. (There have actually been extinctions of the tribal people. They are still living but there are very few of them.)
• In tropical rainforests, the soil is poor. The trees' plant roots grow close to the roots in order to gain the nutrients that the tree needs to grow. But once the trees are cut down, the soil suffers and it loses any nutrients it had. When it rains, the soil erodes. The soil will also dry and crack under the Sun's heat.
• In rainforests, floods can start because as there are not as many trees as usual standing to suck up the rainwater, the excess water causes floods.

Answer 2

Cutting trees can lead to deforestation, which can contribute to climate change, loss of biodiversity, disrupted water cycles, and soil erosion. This can have direct impacts on humans such as reduced air quality, increased health issues, and risk of natural disasters. Additionally, trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and providing oxygen for us to breathe.
