THE SUPER POWERS OF TREES

Ten Amazing Powers

SHADE

Trees make us more comfortable by providing shade and emitting oxygen, trees reduce temperatures and enhance the air quality around our homes and on our streets. They mitigate pollutants such as carbon dioxide and particulates.

WATER ABSORPTION

Mature trees also help us adapt to the impact of climate change by moderating the effects of wetter, warmer and wilder weather. Trees allow the soil to absorb excess water. Their roots hold the soil in place and prevent wash outs and loss of valuable top soil. Flood damage is reduced when the soil is able to capture water where it falls.

FOOD

BEAUTIFICATION

Trees in urban environments beautify our landscapes - around our homes, along our streets, in our parks and surrounding business and industrial buildings.

Attractive, tree-filled landscapes improve human health in cities. They reduce blood pressure and improve emotional and psychological health.

CARBON SINK

Trees play an essential role in capturing the carbon that is so damaging to our climate. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide and store it. A mature tree is thought to capture up to 50 pounds of CO2 every year, thus mitigating impacts from this dangerous gas.

TEMPERATURE MODIFICATION

Trees provide temporature modification. ;alsdkfj;alsdj ajs;ldk ;as as'd asgsd asd assd gaws sd f asdfjl.

BIODIVERSITY

Trees are essential components of a healthy ecosystem, and without them, our world would quickly collapse. From providing food, shelter and nesting places for insects, birds and mammals to enhancing the soil with their leaves and decaying limbs, trees figure prominently in the circle of life on our planet.

HABITAT

Trees provide habitat. ;alsdkfj;alsdj ajs;ldk ;as as'd asgsd asd assd gaws sd f asdfjl.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

Trees provide community empowerment. ;alsdkfj;alsdj ajs;ldk ;as as'd asgsd asd assd gaws sd f asdfjl.
