Q. Explain about Climate Regulation?
By giving off moisture through their leaves and providing shade, plants help keep us and other animals cool. Forests are especially good climate modifiers. Forests act as insulators helping to mitigate the impacts of freezing temperatures. As trees and other plants in forests release oxygen and take up carbon dioxide (CO2) - the most prevalent greenhouse gas - the forests store carbon and help reduce global warming. So do oceans as they interact with the atmosphere. Algae living in the ocean take up carbon dioxide, and ocean currents and winds help control the world's climate.
