In addition those benefits are great but trees also provide other less obvious benefits. I planted my tree in a nice shady area but also sunny as well. I did this so it can get sun in the day but shade as the sun sets. One reason why I planted this tree was to improve our air and planet, I planted this with help from my dad and his green thumb.

Not only that, but also “trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces erosion and pollution in our waterways and may reduce the effects of flooding”. Uniquely “fallen tree leaves can reduce soil temperature and soil moisture loss. Decaying leaves promote soil”. In essence my project is helping …show more content…
