What would happen to animals if there were no trees?
Eighty per cent of land animals and plants live in forests and without the trees most of them will die. Trees also keep the ground wet and cool, and help to drive the water cycle. With no trees, the land will heat up and dry out and the dead wood will inevitably result in enormous wildfires.
What animals need trees in the rainforest?
Animals that inhabit the rainforest canopy include Lemurs, Spider Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans, Orangutans and Parrots. Some of these animals find most or all of their food high in the trees of the canopy so that they will rarely, if ever, need to go to the rainforest floor.
Why are rainforests so important to animals?
Rainforests contain about half of the existing plant and animal species in the world. They contain a third of the world’s bird species and 90% of its invertebrates. The remaining African rainforests contain more animals and plant species than are found anywhere else on the continent.
What would happen if all animals disappeared?
If animals went extinct there would be less Carbon Dioxide to support photosynthesis and more complex plants would have a difficult time adapting to the reduced levels of Carbon Dioxide. Plants that survived the extinction of animals would be much simpler than presently complex plants.
What does an animal need to survive in the rainforest?
For animals to survive in the wild, they need a few basic things in their habitat. They require a food and water source, shelter and enough space to move.
What would happen without forest?
Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly HIGHER amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and LOWER amounts of oxygen! The filthy air would also be full of airborne particles and pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and its temperature may increase by up to 12 F.
What will happen if plants and animals disappear from the earth’s surface?
Answer: (a) If the plants and animals disappear from the Earth’s surface, then the ecological balance will be disturbed. Without plants there will be no oxygen available for breathing after some time and everybody will die.
