Vegetation influences the physical appearance and functioning of the Earth's surface in terms of radiative properties and hydrological function (Kleidon et. al., 2000). In the presence of vegetation, more solar radiation is absorbed due to the lower albedo and more soil water is available for transpiration due to greater access to soil water. They help maintain the ratio of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by absorbing CO2 and using solar energy to convert it into O2 and food, essential for life. However, CO2, one of the greenhouse gases that helps insulate the world, is also capable of causing global temperatures to rise if accumulated in excessive quantities in the atmosphere for a long time. By absorbing CO2, tropical rainforests also help maintain global temperatures, which has a huge effect on the world's ecosystem (Fearnside,
