Question

does anyone know why forest matter and like i know the obvious like they release oxygen and our important for our ecosystem but like what other effects would it have like on the not so obvious level?

Answer 1

they help us breath and give animals homes duuuuuuuhhhhh!

Answer 2

this is a stupid question!!!

Answer 3

this is a very stupid question!

Answer 4

OXYGEN AND CARBONDIOXIDE DUHHH!

Answer 5

no oxygen = death. thats all that matters.

Answer 6

Animals live in the forest. Animals are very imporant and you should know why. Also it is mothernature.

Its people like you why there are barley any forests left!

Answer 7

They provide homes for wild life, large groups of trees have many responsibilities; because it consumes carbon dioxide, it cools the earth, gives off fresh oxygen, and tress muffle sound.

Answer 8

Animals habitats are there. They live and survive there. Also, forests give off alot of oxygen.

Answer 9

Well, they are a habitat for a variety of species. If the forests went away, we'd probably have either animals roaming through our cities and towns, or maybe no animals at all. If an animal's habitat is taken away, even that of a mouse or a rabbit, and those animals die as a result, eventually because of the food chain all animals that feed of them would eventually die or become scarce, until eventually, most land animals are gone. Us, potentially, included.

So yeah, sugar. Forests are important.

Answer 10

On a personal level, it matters because it's my only place of escape from life's chaotic rollercoaster. Being in the outdoors renew myself mentally and spritually. Hiking in the woods and be with the trees under the forest canopy is a humbling experience.

Answer 11

For what is really left of them, they are the last world of all other living things on this planet, as most are being chopped up for enterprise, growing crops or for developing on.

If you believe we live within an eco-system that has balance, chopping down too many would be the beginning of the end of the entire eco-system including ours. If enought crumble, we might parish as well as we spray for bugs to keep them off our crops and out of our houses, and to look at anything that is not human or a pet as a pest that needs to be relocated or killed. What's another wild animal, while we deal with the colony colaspe of the bees who help our fruit production. You stop and slow down the eco-system, it will catch up with Humans one day, if for nothing else the end of the production of breathable oxygen made naturally.

Answer 12

you answered your won question oxygen we would DIE withought it and they suck up the carbon dioxide that we breath out they help the world be a clean and better place and without trees we would not have paper, furniture, wood to build houses we almost base ALL of the worlds products off of trees.

Answer 13

duh man.. lolz

watch the news and open your science books..

Answer 14

Besides things they give off like Oxygen and CO2, they also house animal and plant life that ultimately are important to the human race and other animal species.
