hello aspirant

forests play a vital role in the ecosystem. it is the habitat of a number of organisms. It provides them food and shelter and help them in their survival. It helps in bringing rainfall that maintain ground water level. Soil is one of the most valuable resource in the ecosystem. Its erosion is prevented by the forest, which help the soil to maintain its fertility.Forests also help in maintaining the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen that support moderate global climate. as we know, forests are vital storehouses of carbon on our planet. However, when forests are cleared to make way for agriculture and other activities, they emit large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere leading to global warming thus it helps in maintaining the overall global climate condition.

hope this helps
