Explain how deforestation (the cutting down of trees) of tropical rainforests plays a large role in excess CO2 in the atmosphere

Solution

The forests are called the sinks of carbondioxide.

Tropical rainforest can be characterized as tall, hot, dense and wet forest near the equator and is believed to be the oldest living ecosystems on earth which gets maximum amount of rainfall. They exhibit high levels of biodiversity. The tropics play an important role in reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide, their destruction leads to increasing Global energy trapping and atmospheric gases which results in the climatic change.

Rain forest cover around 2% the total surface area of earth but really 50% of the plants and animals on the earth live in rainforest the Amazon rainforest is the largest Tropical rainforest in the world rainforest or threatened each and every day due to the practices of agriculture login mining at cetera in the beginning there were around 6 million square miles of rainforest but now due to deforestation there are only less than half of the rain forest found in the world. A lot of oxygen is being supplied by the Tropical rainforests even though they are miles and miles away. Hence it is much important to conserve rainforests which act as carbon sinks.
