How Afforestation Helps Restore Ecosystems
Afforestation and reforestation are essential for nature's restoration. Through forestation, land degradation can be reduced because trees increase soil absorption and prevent soil erosion.
Furthermore, trees perform carbon sequestration, which is crucial for climate regulation. Through trees, oxygen production increases, which is essential for living beings.
To maintain natural balance, trees help protect biodiversity and create wildlife corridors, creating opportunities for different species to live. Trees' photosynthesis process adds nutrients to the environment, maintaining ecological balance.
Additionally, trees become associated with indigenous species, ensuring their symbiotic environment, which ensures biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources. Through land restoration, vegetation increases, which improves the entire ecosystem services.
