Even today trees continue to serve man in many ways.Trees provide man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. People learnt to build tools, weapons, houses. boats and even bridges with wood from trees. Furniture, such as tables, chairs and beds, is also made of wood.In the tropics (热带地区), it is very hot all year round. Trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) of some kinds to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface (表面) soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture (农业). The result is that the land becomes a desert.There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very rich fertile (肥沃的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the distant past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas and never planted new ones. Day after day, the rich surface soil was blown away and washed away by strong wind and heavy rains. In the end the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.1.
