Asian Forests and their amazing benefits....
They provide protection to man as well as many organisms forest fruits are the source of food for many animals they regulate the flow of water in the streams,prevent soil erosion and make the environment pleasant they provide necessities of life.

Forests as environmental buffer.
The trees serve as environmental buffers as they intercept heavy rain fall and release the rain water steadily and slowly to the soil below.
This water then returns to the streams and rivers that start in flow through them.
The region with high rain fall of about 20inches are suitable for tree growth.
The roots of the trees hold the soil in place.
Forests and climate:
About half of the rain which falls in tropical forests comes from the transpiration by the trees themselves.
The trees also keep the environment cool and humid.
When forests are eliminated,rains reduce.
Consequently,the climate changes dramatically.
There occurs great fluctuations between day and night temperature and the rainfall is diminished.
Forest and biodiversity:
Biodiversity refers to the totally amount of different species within an ecosystem and the resulting complexity of interaction among them.
The tropical forests are charactized by great diversity of species they contain.
So reduction in forest will lead to the reduction and even extinction of various species.
Harms of removal of plants:
The roots of the trees hold the soil in place.
Lacking this would result into soil erosion and soil depletion.
Moreover they reduce pollution and prevent us from global warming
They removal of forests allows soil erosion,silting up of lakes, rivers and dams,heavy floods and the loss thousands of species of animals and plants for ever.
