The forest is called the green ocean of the earth, a priceless gift of nature. The forest is the real lungs of our planet: it helps all living things breathe, releasing oxygen, purifying the air from dirt, dust and substances harmful to human health. Forest trees and shrubs emit special health-improving substances - phytoncides. It is easy to breathe in coniferous forests, but the bitter smell of the white brushes of flowering bird cherry and the resinous smell of bursting aspen buds are all phytoncides that kill microorganisms. Forests feed, heat, and provide material for construction. Fruits, flowers, leaves, branches and roots are a source of food for animals. Powerful trees with a dense crown provide good protection from traffic noise and strong winds. Forests conserve water and soil. In summer they soften the heat, in winter - the cold. The forest has long served people: almost 20,000 types of products and products are made from wood. Combinations of forest plants form landscapes of unique beauty. It is necessary to know, love and protect the forest wealth of Russia. 3. Main part. Conversation. How does nature influence humans?
