Forest Trees Cool Air
The forest acts as a natural air conditioner cooling and humidifying the surrounding air. A vigorous young tree can have the cooling effect of ten room air conditioners. air under a forest canopy may be up to 20 degrees cooler. An acre of young trees purifies air by five to six tons CO2 and four tons O2 yearly, while old forests with overmature trees may net zero wood gain. Burlison cites the American Forest Institute and Vernon Burlison as sources.
