Forests play a significant role in influencing the quality of natural resources and do so in multiple ways. Some of these include:By maintaining the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmospherePrevention of soil erosion by holding the soil intact with its roots and maintaining its fertilityRestoring water resources. Water evaporates through plants by transpiration and water bodies by evaporation, and condenses to form clouds. These clouds further discharge the water in the form of rainfall.
