Trees are great allies of the microclimate of cities, their
presence has an effect on some components of the climate such as temperature,
wind, humidity, solar radiation, rainfall and soil erosion.
Planting trees in parks, plazas, sidewalks and patios of our
homes helps the environment and improve our quality of life. Here are some
interesting facts
POLLUTION:
They can absorb air pollutants such as converting CO2 into oxygen.
The creation of urban green areas can reduce to some extent the level of some
pollutants in the air, accumulating them in their leaves or serving as a screen
to stop its course
TEMPERATURE:
Improve air temperature by controlling solar radiation.
Leaves intercept, they reflect, absorb and transmit solar radiation. It has
been found to help reduce the greenhouse effect (or global warming). It is
known that in cities where the temperature is high during daylight hours, the
presence of trees and gardens reduce the local temperature up to 20 ° C in
global temperature to 1 ° C.
CONTROLLING THE PRECIPITATION AND SOIL EROSION:
Depending on the foliage and the density and intensity of
rainfall. Intercept water drop, allowing time for infiltration, thus reducing
runoff and soil erosion.
