If there were no trees could we survive?

Question

Since trees take the air, clean and process it and give us oxygen, if there were no trees could we live?

Answer 1

no i think we wud suffocate

Answer 2

Trees aren't the only kinds of photosynthetic plants. Planktonic algae produces alot of oxygen, as well.  Certainly the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere would decrease, and as trees serve as a longterm carbon storage, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase.  The temperature would rise and we would likely get very hot.  Also because trees serve as a conduit for water into the atmopshere, the air would probaby contain alot less water. The earth would become less humid.  Because trees hold the topsoil of the earth and protect it from erosion, the fertile soil would blow away and there would be desertification.

Answer 3

No, we could not. Unless there were new plants to take their place.

PS. trees dont "clean"and "process" the air,

they take in CO2 and water and use it to make glucose and oxygen.

Oxygen is just a by-product.

Trees also use oxygen to make energy when it is dark, and they release CO2

Answer 4

Nope. We would die within a couple of minutes.

Answer 5

I don't think so can because if there is no trees,there will not be any oxygen in this earth.

Moreover,the temperature in our earth will be keeeping increasing and we will be very hot.Then we will get some serious sick and we will die......

Answer 6

no, whats scary also is if there were no bees we would all die too

Bees pollinate plants , no plants no life

Answer 7

Scaryy but i dont think so

Answer 8

i dont think we can.

mainly cause then there wont be any oxygen.
