BENEFITS OF TREES

There is a plethora of benefits of planting the trees, from

health to environmental impact, to economics and even
psychological effects. Planting and then maintaining trees
helps lower energy costs, reduce pollution, surroundings
improves with green ambience and also increases the value
of your property. As green color is a soothing color, it helps
you recover from strain quickly. Trees enhance the beauty
and making your surroundings beautiful is your duty as well.

Trees are very important part of the planet to provide beauty

or shade. There are sundry perspectives of trees in human
life such as social, communal, environmental and economic.
I am going to describe the major benefits of trees in human
life. Trees offer everything which is required by human such
as Air, food, house, cloth, energy and beauty.

BENEFITS OF TREES:

Trees clean the air: Trees helps in absorbing odors and

pollutant gases such as sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen
oxides etc and provide us with fresh air. They offer the most
important thing that is fresh air which is the basic need for
human to survive. You should not forget that the fresh air
reduces the chances of increasing diseases from polluted air.

Trees provide oxygen: why is oxygen importance to us?

Oxygen is life. I hope, you understand what importance of
oxygen is for survival. The only resource of Oxygen is tree.
Oxygen for 18 people can be provided in one year by an acre
of mature trees.

Trees cool the streets and the city: Trees cool the streets
and the cities by their shade and evaporation from the leaf
surface cool the city further by up to 10F. Hence they are
called the natural air conditioners.

Trees Active lifestyles: Trees helps in improving health as
they strongly encourage people to go to parks or in green
environment for walking, exercising, jogging or biking which
helps them reduce obesity and keeps them fit.

Raise property value: Homes with more trees or having

green ambience in surroundings tend to have higher
property value than those without trees, because it
decreases pollution and have fresh air around which attracts
people more.

Trees shield from ultra-violet rays: Ultraviolet rays are

very harmful for anyone and can cause the most common
form of cancer i.e. skin cancer. Trees help in protecting from
ultra-violet rays as they reduce UV-B exposure by about 50%.

Trees provide food: Trees provide food for human beings

and also for birds and wildlife. You can plant fruit trees like
an apple tree which does not take much space and can be
easily planted on the tiniest urban lot. It yields up to 15-20
bushels per year.

Trees heal: According to studies, people with green

ambience out their windows heal faster and with less
difficulty or complications. So planting trees around or
outside your house can not only help you prevent from
visiting doctors more often but also heals you naturally.

IMPORTANCE OF TREES:

The trees are extremely important and have always been

needed for developing the human condition and lifestyle. It
doesn't a make bigger believe that without trees we humans
would not exist on this beautiful earth. So, trees are
important for life as we know it and are the earth troops
creating up an environmental Frontline. There are various
importances of trees such as Trees Produce Oxygen, Trees
Clean the Soil, Trees Control Noise Pollution, Trees Slow
Storm Water Runoff, Trees Are Carbon Sinks, Trees, Shade
and Cool, Trees Act as Windbreaks, Trees Fight Soil Erosion,
Trees Increase Property Values and many more.

As already descried the importance of trees and benefits of

trees, there are also numeral of the benefits of the trees

except mention above such as Save Water, conserve energy,
reduce violence, add unity, provide wood and save earth
from an earthquake. You should participate in
PlantyourTrees.com to Save Trees to Save Life. Save trees
to reduce global warming, reduce the carbon footprint and
pollution as well as a clean environment.

Asexual reproduction produces individuals that are

genetically identical to the parent plant. Roots such as
corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon
undergo vegetative reproduction. Some plantscan
produce seeds without fertilization via apomixis where the
ovule or ovary gives rise to new seeds.

Asexual Reproduction In Plants

August 11, 20160 Comments

Asexual reproduction is the mode of reproduction by

which new plants are produced without the help of flowers.
This mode does not require the fusion of male and female
gametes. Asexual reproduction generates new plants that
are clones of the mother plant. Clones are a group of cells or
a new organism genetically identical to each other. Asexual
reproduction occurs in different kinds which includes
the budding, fragmentation, vegetative propagation, and
spore formation.

Asexual Reproduction

Budding

In this mode of asexual reproduction, a new plant is

developed from an outgrowth, also called bud, in the plant
body. A bud is formed due to cell division at one particular
site.For example, if you keep a potato for long time, it is said
to develop many number of small growths, which are
commonly referred as eyes. Each of them can be cut and
also planted. Each of them will grow up like a clone of an
original plant which had produced potato.

Vegetative Propagation

Vegetative propagation is a type of reproduction in which

new plants are produced from the vegetative parts of the
plants, i.e. roots, stems or buds. Vegetative propagation in
plants can occur naturally or can be artificially induced by
horticulturists.

Examples of vegetative propagation are as follows:

Stems Runners are the stems which usually grow

in horizontal above the ground. They have the nodes where
the buds are said to be formed. These buds usually grow into
new plant.

Runners: A Mode of Asexual Reproduction

Roots New plants grow out of swollen, modified roots

called tubers. Example: Sweet Potato

Leaves Leaves of some plants grow into a new plant when
they are detached from the parent plant. Some other plants
exhibit growth of small plants, called plantlets, on the edge
of their leaves. Example: Bryophyllum.

Fragmentation

This is a mode of asexual reproduction in which a new plant

grows from a fragment of the parent plant. Each fragment
develops into a mature, fully grown individual. Some plants
possess specialized structures for reproduction through
fragmentation. This type of reproduction happens naturally
where small part of the plant come fall off onto soil and then
begin to grow up into an new plant. This mode is often used
by nurseries and greenhouses to produce plants quickly.

Spore Formation

Many plants and algae form spores in their life cycle. A spore
is an asexual reproductive body, surrounded by a hard
protective cover to withstand unfavourable conditions such
as high temperature and low humidity. Under favourable
conditions, the spores germinate and grow into new plants.
Plants like moss and ferns use this mode of reproduction.

An orchard is an intentional planting of trees or shrubs that

is maintained for food production. Orchards comprise fruit-
or nut-producing trees which are generally grown for
commercial production. Orchards are also sometimes a
feature of large gardens, where they serve an aesthetic as
well as a productive purpose. [1] A fruit garden is generally
synonymous with an orchard, although it is set on a smaller
non-commercial scale and may emphasize berry shrubs in
preference to fruit trees. Most temperate-zone orchards are
laid out in a regular grid, with a grazed or mown grass or
bare soil base that makes maintenance and fruit gathering
easy.

Orchards are sometimes concentrated near bodies of water,
where climatic extremes are moderated and blossom time is
retarded until frost danger is past.

Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or
more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part
(scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of another plant. In the
budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another.Jun 30, 2014

Layering is a means of plant propagation in which a portion of an aerial stem
grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an
independent plant. Layering has evolved as a common means of vegetative
propagation of numerous species in natural environments.
