Greetings everyone.Hope u guys had a wonderful day today.Mine was a bit boring though due to the sit at home order in imo state today. Since I had nothing to keep me busy today I decided to do a little research about trees. Though it was not really easy for me because I'm not really good at writing but I tried my best though and I thought of sharing what I managed to put together with everyone in this community. So let's get down to business.

The global economical system integrating all living being is dependent on the life processes undergone by trees such as metabolism,death and their recycling.carbondioxide , movement of water and production of oxygen which is released into the atmosphere is being carried out by trees through the help of its roots and trunks.
