[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May I ask for the source that the forest obsorbs 25x more water? Is it because the ground is not packed so hard or other reason(s). Thx[/quote] Think about it. Trees are tall, and able to absorb lots of water. Not grass. [/quote] I would guess also because their roots go deep and wide. I often wonder how it is trees planted in the middle of concrete and buildings manage to get enough water at all. Plus, as they release water into the air (is that what they call transpiration?) they reduce the air temperature and help mitigate urban heat island effect. [/quote]
