Imagine forests as giant living creatures that breathe like humans do. Trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen during the day, just like we do when we breathe in air and blow it out again. At night, they reverse this process, taking in oxygen and letting out carbon dioxide. This is how forests act like big green lungs for our planet.
Examples
- Imagine all the trees in a forest doing this together, it’s like the whole Earth is breathing.
