Why are the trees in the city so important?

5 evidence that their role is significant!

It is well known that the presence of trees in the city has a positive impact on the quality of life of residents. What are the specific properties that we should pay attention to? The following examples is just the beginning of a long list of advantages that trees have!

Better air quality

Trees absorb harmful carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. In this way, they produce oxygen that is necessary for life. Thanks to this, they prevent the formation of smog, and residents less often suffer from respiratory diseases.

Tranquility

Trees effectively reduce noise levels. It is recommended that housing estates located along busy routes be separated from them by a wall of tree.

Balanced temperatures

It is proved that the trees reduce the noticeable effects of summer and winter temperatures. In the summer they provide shade and the necessary oxygen, and in the winter they constitute a natural barrier against the wind, which prevents cooling down buildings and reduces heating costs.

Limited effects of storms

Trees improve the quality of the soil, increasing its ability to absorb water. This means that during heavy rainfall most of the water soaks into the ground and does not flood the streets.

Soothing effect

Numerous studies have shown that the presence of greenery reduces the level of stress, responding to our need for closeness to nature. Where there are trees, life is simply better!
