You are absolutely right. Good forests do produce clean fresh water, among their many other gifts. I can produce a better set of interlocking root systems in a managed forest, if that is the objective. Most trees in old-growth forests have miserable root systems because they are grown over-dense for most of their tenure. Message #290652 from TigerPaw at Aug 26, 2002 11:47 PM The O2 / CO2 cycle is vastly larger in the oceans than in all terrestrial plants. I think forests are more important for clean fresh water than for air pollution. The decay layers and interlocking root systems are important for retarding erosion and for filtering rain and runoff.
