In order to compensate the loss of trees over the last decade we should plant 130 million hectares (or 1.3 million square km.), an area equal with the size of Peru.
Covering 130 million hectares would mean to plant approximately 14 billion trees every year, for ten years. This means that each person should plant and take care of two trees every year.
Cutting a fir tree lasts only one minute, but the fir tree needs 60-80 years to reach maturity.
8000 seedlings are used to plant one hectare of forest, and only 600 of them remain until the age of exploitation.
One hectare of coniferous forest collects 50 tons of carbon dioxide annually and releases, at the same time, 25-30 tons of oxygen.
In summer, only one hectare of forest “breathes in” an amount of carbon dioxide equal with that eliminated at the same time by 200 persons.
A 25-meter-high beech tree, with the crown’s diameter of 15 meters, produces in only one hour a man’s need of oxygen for three days (i.e. 1.7 kilograms of oxygen).
Annually, on the globe, the vegetal cover (forests, agricultural crops, herbs) releases over 23 billion tons of oxygen. Over 60% of this amount is produced by the forests.
One square meter of forest moss retains 5 litres of water.
The great naturalist Buffon said: „The more deforestation happens in a country, the poorer that country is in water”.
