Trees take in carbon dioxide from the air and give out oxygen. This controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and helps us breathe

# data[].attributes.body
The soil is poor so trees grow close to the surface, to gather nutrients

# data[].attributes.body
Trees help to keep the climate in balance. They are an important part of the water cycle that produces rain

# data[].attributes.body
Roots of trees take up moisture from the soil and this prevents flooding

# data[].attributes.body
Without tree roots to bind it, soil is washed away by rain choking rivers and causing floods

# data[].attributes.body
The climate becomes warmer

# data[].attributes.body
Trees and the soil will absorb less water

# data[].attributes.body
More water will run off the ground surface

# data[].attributes.body
Less heat can escape from the ground

# data[].attributes.body
Large areas of rainforest have beeen destroyed

# data[].attributes.body
The fertile layer of soil becomes much thinner

# data[].attributes.body
Half of the world's trees are in rainforests

# data[].attributes.body
The air becomes drier and the temprature becomes higher

# data[].attributes.body
Less carbon dioxide will be absorbed from the atmosphere

# data[].attributes.body
Rivers are more likely to flood downstream and on floodplains

# data[].attributes.body
The loss of forest has changed the ecosystem

# data[].attributes.body
Each tree cut down is one less that can convert harmful gases into oxygen

# data[].attributes.body
Trees hold the soil together

# data[].attributes.body
Burning rainforests adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and adds to global warming

# data[].attributes.body
Trees catch rainfall before it touches the ground

# data[].attributes.body
The moisture given off by trees makes the air cooler

# data[].attributes.body
Fewer nutrients enter soil and it becomes less fertile

# data[].attributes.body
Soil is more compacted and hard crust forms as it dries out

# data[].attributes.body
Soil is more compacted and hard crust forms as it dries out

# data[].attributes.body
More carbon dioxide in the air

# data[].attributes.body
Soil is eroded mroe easily

# data[].attributes.body
Weather becomes much drier

# data[].attributes.body
Heavy logging machinery damages the soil

# data[].attributes.body
Fewer leaves fall to the ground

# data[].attributes.body
Tree canopy will no longer protect soil from rain

# data[].attributes.body
Rain can now fall directly on the ground

# data[].attributes.body
Fewer clouds are formed
