How Much Oxygen Does One Tree Produce?

When is it a fact trees are important for our survival, many people wonder of how much really a tree can contribute to the human species. Trees produce oxygen which is what humans inhale as well as they inhale carbon dioxide which is what humans create. The trees need us as we need them. We both wouln't be able to survive without the other. The amount of oxygen produced by a tree depends on several factors, but here are some typical calculations.

The atmosphere of the Earth has a different composition from that of other planets in part due to the biochemical reactions of Earth's organisms. Trees and plankton play a big role in this. There are different answers for this and many people who have come to different answer but the truth is a tree is plays a mayor role in the survival of more than 1 human. The amount of oxygen produced by a tree depends on the species of tree, its age, its health, and also on the tree's surroundings. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, "a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year." Here are some other quoted figures regarding the amount of oxygen produced by a tree:

"A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs./year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings."

- McAliney, Mike. Arguments for Land Conservation: Documentation and Information Sources for Land Resources Protection, Trust for Public Land, Sacramento, CA, December, 1993

"One acre of trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that produced by driving an average car for 26,000 miles. That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year."

- New York Times

" A 100-ft tree, 18" diameter at its base, produces 6,000 pounds of oxygen."

- Northwest Territories Forest Management

"On average, one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year. Two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four."

- Environment Canada, Canada's national environmental agency

"Mean net annual oxygen production (after accounting for decomposition) per hectare of trees (100% tree canopy) offsets oxygen consumption of 19 people per year (eight people per acre of tree cover), but ranges from nine people per hectare of canopy cover (four people/ac cover) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to 28 people/ha cover (12 people/ac cover) in Calgary, Alberta."

- U.S. Forest Service and International Society of Arboriculture joint publication

Memorial Day

When: The last Monday in May.

Memorial Day is officially celebrated on the last Monday during the month of May. Memorial Day is dedicated to service men and women who gave their lives for freedom and country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. The roots of Memorial Day go back to 1865 and the end of the Civil War.

Memorial Day was traditionally held on the 30th of May. In 1971, Congress changed it to the last Monday in order to afford a three day holiday weekend. Regardless of the date, we encourage you to attend a parade, and to visit a cemetery to honor and remember our servicemen . Take time to remember lost loved ones in whatever way you feel appropriate.

Wonderful Facts about Trees

AAA TREE SERVICE

www.AAATreeServiceNY.com

·       Trees are the longest living organisms on the planet and one of the earth's greatest natural resources. They keep our air supply clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality, help prevent erosion, provide food and building materials, create shade, and help make our landscapes look beautiful.

·       Well-maintained trees and shrubs can increase property value by up to 14%.

·       Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30%

·       A mature tree removes almost 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree.

·       A healthy tree can have a value of up to $10,000.

·       The shade and wind buffering provided by trees reduces annual heating and cooling costs by 2.1 billion dollars.

·       Each average-sized tree provides an estimated $7 savings in annual environmental benefits, including energy conservation and reduced pollution.

·       A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. That means two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four!

·       Water originating in our national forests provide drinking water for over 3400 communities, and approximately 60 million individuals.

·       One tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as a car produces while driving 26,000 miles.

·       Over the course its life, a single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide.

·       An average American uses about 750 pounds of paper every year, and 95% of homes are built using wood. That means each person uses the equivalent of one 100 foot tall, 16 inch diameter, tree every year for their paper and wood product needs.

·       About one third of the United States of America is covered by forests.

·       According to the last forest inventory, there are almost 247 billion trees over 1 inch in diameter in the U.S.

·       The average tree in an urban/city area has a life expectancy of only 8 years.

·       The tallest tree in the country is a Coast Redwood growing in northern California's Redwood National Park. It is 369 feet tall and over 2000 years old!

Most Frequently Asked Questions about Stump Removal:

1. How much does a stump removal costs

When removing a tree stump 2 factors determine the cost, which are the diameter and height, just like in tree removals there are not set prices everything is calculated by how big the tree stump is.

In most cases that gets discussed at the time of the estimate, make sure you get a free estimate. Many times the wood chip removal is not included and that is an additional charge but if you discuss it with the tree company they will give you the price with wood chip removal.

The average stump removal consists on how big is the stump, not all stumps have the same density although the standard removal is between 8-12 inches below grown.

4. When the tree stump is removed do you put soil on the empty hole?

YES, We place soil to fill in the hole. We never leave the empty hole unless requested and many times even wood chips can be used.

Groundhog's Day

Groundhog Day (Pennsylvania German: Grundsaudaag, Murmeltiertag) is a day celebrated on February 2. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.

Modern customs of the holiday involve celebrations where early morning festivals are held to watch the groundhog emerging from its burrow.

The city is due for an early spring according to Staten Island Chuck, who did not see his shadow

The local groundhog did not spot his shadow when he crawled out of his home in the Staten Island Zoo, which mirrored the prediction of his more acclaimed brethren, Punxsutawney Phil.
