The global annual net loss of trees is estimated to be approximately 10 billion. [23] [24] According to the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 the global average annual deforested land in the 2015–2020 demi-decade was 10 million hectares and the average annual forest area net loss in the 2000–2010 decade was 4.7 million hectares.

The more trees that are removed equals larger effects of climate change which, in turn, results in the loss of more trees. [13] Forests cover 31% of the land area on Earth. Every year, 75,700 square kilometers (18.7 million acres) of the forest is lost. [14] There was a 12% increase in the loss of primary tropical forests from 2019 to 2020. [15]
Loss of biodiversity also means that humans are losing animals that could have served as biological-control agents and plants that could potentially provide higher-yielding crop varieties, pharmaceutical drugs to cure existing or future diseases (such as cancer), and new resistant crop-varieties for agricultural species susceptible to pesticide ...
“We see more and more people suffering from asthma, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes,” Franz said. “We know our urban tree canopy can help reduce those physical health challenges.”
The major effect of transpiration is the reduction of soil pore water pressures which counteracts the loss of strength which occurs through wetting, this is most readily seen as a loss of moisture around trees. However it is not easy to rely on tree and shrub roots to remove water from slopes and consequently help ensure slope stability.
People trees, by Pooktre. Tree shaping is the practice of changing living trees and other woody plants into man made shapes for art and useful structures. There are a few different methods [135] of shaping a tree. There is a gradual method and there is an instant method.
Gains in forest land have resulted from conversions from crop land and pastures at a higher rate than loss of forest to development. However issues have been identified such as the continued loss of old-growth forest, [ 9 ] the increased fragmentation of forest lands, and the increased urbanization of forest land. [ 10 ]
