<p>Trees are needed for life as we know it. Trees create oxygen which we breathe. Take away that and we will have issues. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. Without this the gases will be in the atmosphere and the results could be catastrophic.</p>
<p>One tree supplies enough oxygen for 4 people to breath per day which is fairly impressive and didn't know that.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trees have been a good resource as building materials for centuries and finding an alternative will take some doing. they provide a habitat for various species of birds and animals which help the eco system thrive.</p>

<p>I don't think without forest there will be any human or living thing any more on this world.</p>
<p>There are so many things to talk about like Global Warming and all but at the end I think if there will be no forest then there will be nothing at the end.</p>

What will happen to a world without forests?
<p>Forest help in balancing the oxygen and carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere.  The co2 released by man is utilized by plants while man utilizes the O2 released by plants. When this balance is distorted by removing forest, there'll be serious problems for man and other living organisms that depend on oxygen for survival.  Though man knows the usefulness of forest and there's no way the earth will be  without forest because man will never allow such to happen </p>

What will happen to a world without forests?
<p>We know that if you cut forests on land, the main problems will be the global warming t, the lack of natural air purifiers, and the smok and co2 contamination will increase.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I comment from my own experience.</p>
<p>I have varied farms in the tropics, where there are &nbsp;jungle forests.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>There were parts of my farm where there were a lot of trees, and in order to work I had to cut several. (60hect)</p>
<p>Before doing it the terrain was humid, almost the sunlight did not touch the ground, it was sometimes dark inside the forest.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>When cutting the forest, the temperature of the sun increased, it was almost impossible to be there at noon. Each time it gets hotter and the soil moisture disappears.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Sometimes the human being to earn a few dollars seems to destroy nature.</p>
<p>My farm is small but imagine the amount of trees that set cut down around the world.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The lands that were fertile &nbsp;will no longer be soon.</p>
<p>One of the problems is the excess of population and the indiscriminate printing of dollars.</p>
<p>If there were fewer people in the world, fewer resources would be demanded.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>
In conclusion, the world would be hotter and drier and polluted, but the human being would evolve.&nbsp;</p>

What will happen to a world without forests?
<p>Many people think that all the oxygen on our planet is produced by plants but all this is a myth.</p>
<p>It's very common to think that most of the oxygen we breathe comes from trees and jungles, however, terrestrial ecosystems produce like a 28% in the world. According to various studies, at least 70% is produced by marines plants.</p>
<p>The ocean produces oxygen through the plants phytoplankton, seaweed, algae and plankton that live in it. These plants produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, a process that converts carbon dioxide and sunlight into sugar that the body use to obtain energy.</p>
<p>One type of phytoplankton, the Prochlorococcus, release countless tons of oxygen into the atmosphere and has achieved fame as the most abundant photosynthetic organism on the planet. It's stimated that Prochlorococcus provides oxygen for one out of every five breaths we take.</p>
<p>However, some scientists believe that phytoplankton levels have been reduced by 40% since 1950 due to the warming of the ocean. The nutrients from these organism reach the surface as a result of water currents that circulate cold water and nutrients from the deeper water to warmer surface water.</p>
<p>As the ocean heat up, there is less circulation of hot and cold water through the global conveyor belt, so there are fewer nutrients for phytoplankton. 70% is a really good part of the total exigen produced, so the decrease of the phytoplankton affects the ecosystem to a greater extent.</p>
<p>In conclusion, even though the destruction of all the forests would mean a reduction of oxygen in 28% wouldn't end life on the planet, this would be a serious blow to the balance of nature, basing us on the theory of the butterfly effect, which says that flutter of a butterfly, however small, can generate a storm on the other side od the world.</p>
