Write a note on how forests influence the quality of our air, soil and water resources.

Explanation

Forests influence all the three sources like ai water and soil :
(i) Forests maintain the balance between carbondioxide and oxygen. They need, `CO_2` photosynthesis and release `O_ 2` in this proces Similarly, they need `O_ 2` for respiration and release `CO_ 2` in this process.
(ii) Forests prevent soil erosion. The roots of plan hold soil tightly and prevent them from blowl away by wind and water.
(iii) Forests are also essential for recharging the water sources. They play important role maintaining, water cycle by transpiration. The also help in the cycling of under-ground m surface water. In this way forests affect the quality of air water and soil.
