- Medicines: Many pharmaceutical products are derived from plant species found in forests.
Additional Benefits of Forests
- Prevent soil erosion: Forests stabilize the soil, reducing the risk of landslides and maintaining soil fertility.
- Supply oxygen: Trees through photosynthesis release oxygen, crucial for sustaining life.
- Provide habitat: Forests serve as natural homes for a diverse range of wildlife species.
Differences Between Evergreen and Deciduous Forests
-
Evergreen forests:
- Trees retain leaves year-round, shedding them gradually.
- Typically located in warm regions with high rainfall, leading to dense foliage.
-
Deciduous forests:
- Trees shed all their leaves simultaneously during certain seasons, resulting in leafless bare branches in winter or summer.
- Commonly referred to as monsoon forests, they adapt to varying rainfall patterns.
