Forest air conditioning

Many people, after entering the forest, feel a clear change in temperature, air humidity, and the smell in the air. This is the characteristic influence of the forest.

Forests are true oxygen factories.

The force with which the forest responds to these conditions depends on the type of forest, species of trees and other plants. Undoubtedly, these conditions depend on geographical location, seasons and many other factors.

So the forest acts as air-conditioning, and in different ways depending on the factors mentioned above.

Different conditions prevail in pine forests, different in spruce stands, different in mixed and deciduous forests, different in riverside forests. It is a real wealth of different living conditions that are worth exploring.

A single tree in the forest usually produces enough oxygen for two people.

Trees transpire and thus humidify the air. For example, a maple on a warm day can transpire as much as a typical bathtub of water. Single trees can transpire up to 1000 liters of water a day.

Essential oils secreted by trees and other plants into the air have a positive effect on human health and well-being. These oils clear our airways and have antiseptic properties.

Trees and other forest plants release substances called finocides into the air. They have a strong antibacterial and fungicidal effect.

Forests clean the air.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide.

Trees clean the air of dust and gases.
