#Merits of #Planting #Fig #Tree
The Padma Purana (Srishti Khanda 58) describes the merits of planting Fig tree.
The fruits that a man obtains by planting an Fig (Fig) Tree on the bank of a pond is not obtained even by hundreds of sacrifices.
The leaves of the Fig Tree falling on the water of the pond on the parvan days are like rice balls offered to the manes and bear inexhaustible merits.
The fruits of the Fig Trees are eaten by the birds, and like food being offered to Brahmanas, give inexhaustible merits.
The Fig Tree gives shade to cows, deities, brahmanas etc during hot season. The manes of that person, who plants Fig Tree live in heaven.
By planting one Fig Tree, a person is not abandoned from heaven, therefore, O man, plant this great Tree.

Planting Trees Encourages Cloud Formation—and Efficiently Cools the Planet
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/more-trees-mean-more-clouds-and-more-cooling-study-says-180978503/
Some scientists questioned the benefit of replanting #forests in midaltitude regions because of albedo—the ability of the Earth’s surface to reflect sunlight—when deciduous #trees lose leaves during cold seasons, reports Martin Woolridge in the Daily Guardian. The #Princeton researchers point out that theory ignores an important consideration.
If done right, restoring and protecting forests can benefit us and the planet in so many ways - including increasing cloud coverage and helping cool the planet. — Community Forests International https://forestsinternational.org/
