The role of forests in the world’s ecology
Depending on how familiar we are with the biosphere, the answers may well vary. Now I’ll try to explain “the forest ecosystems” as clearly as possible.
First, forests play an important role in fixing soil and retaining water, and purifying air, as well as providing habitats for such as insects, bacteria, and even marine life. But when forests are cleared, the topsoil is rapidly lost, resulting in destructive sandstorms and floods.
Next, forests use photosynthesis to intake carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, stabilizing climate and preventing droughts. According to scientific calculation, eliminating fossil fuels alone is insufficient to reverse climate change, and that’s why restoring forests is important.
These kinds of system has worked without interruption since very old age. This is “the forest ecosystem.” In this way, forests benefits all creatures, including humans. And, maintaining the forest ecosystem is essential to stop climate change and maintain biodiversity.
On this point, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed ‘conserving forest resources’ as one of their key challenges. So, we must come together to achieve them. Thank you for your attention. [180 Words Type-G]
