Forest is a Factor of Environmental Safety

Abstract

The forest absorbs carbon dioxide and releases large amounts of oxygen, regulates microclimate (humidity, temperature, and wind). The forest is a powerful filter for cleaning air and water from harmful impurities. The forest also provides many types of food and medicinal products. It improves groundwater quality, increases their debate. In the mountains, forests protect communities, roads, and fields from floods and mudflows, erosive processes, landslides, and avalanches. The forest promotes an increase in yield. Therefore, in all countries of the world, special attention should be paid to the protection and expansion of forest cover
