Oaks, just the same as other long-lived trees have a positive effect on the environment by removing and storing carbon from the atmosphere. They provide shelter and food for a variety of insects, animals, and birds, and they play a part in moderating weather and land erosion.
In addition to aesthetic landscape value, another important role of oaks is to maintain watershed integrity. The sometimes deep, extensive root system of oaks stabilizes slopes and limits erosion, allowing groundwater recharge. The wide canopies dissipate the rainfall and prevent surface erosion. The ability of oaks and other trees to reduce air pollution and trap airborne particulates is fairly documented. Temperature modulation in urban areas is also provided by dense oaks. These important contributions of oaks to the sustainability of our landscapes are vital. Careful examination of the role played by oaks in maintaining watershed integrity and preservation efforts on a bioregional scale are needed to ensure that the oak woodlands plays its role in the future.

Does the species of an oak tree affect the calculation of the age of the oak?
Yes the different species of oak trees effect the age of that particular tree's life span. Different species of trees and animals are all caused by natural selection, which in turn lets that particular species of plant or animal survive in different climates and adapt to that particular environment. Oak trees usually reside in temperate climate zones. temperate climate zones reside in North America, Northern Asia (parts of Russia), and Europe. These different species of oaks have different adaptations to their specific environment. Even though most temperate climates are alike, different species of oak have different patterns of living which can effect the age of the tree.
