Did you know trees transpire - they take up or lift water hydraulically from deep in the ground and breathe it out when they exhale. It is cooler under a tree not so much because of the shade but because of the tree 'breathing ' out of incredible amounts of moisture. The difference in moisture and temperature creates little air currents too. Yes

One tree breath takes half a day. The water is hydraulically lifted 24 hours a day but at night the stomata of the trees are closed and the water is pushed into the ground - an 'in breath' that waters the whole community and themselves too. Does knowing trees breathe like humans and animals make you consider them and our place in the environment differently? Yes
