Trees are planted for several reasons;
The tree is a windbreak
The shaft reduces wind speed by providing resistance to air movement. A dense screen formed of vegetation can create a calm zone behind it. Velocity can be reduced by 50% over a distance of 10 to 20 times the height of the screen. The degree of reduction will be induced by the height, thickness, and permeability of the trees used. Windbreaks are used to protect and isolate specific areas (yards, nursery, landscaping, cultivation, residence), located away from buildings, along roads, and to control the effects of snow squalls during winter. The presence of trees along the rectilinear streets where the wind is channeled and amplified has the effect of acting as a windbreak and reduces the magnitude of the air currents.
The tree is an attraction for wildlife
Trees provide habitat (shelter, protection, and food) for several species of birds, insects, and small animals. Some trees and shrubs, including hawthorns and rowan trees, keep their fruit in winter to the delight of the birds. Many tree fruits (acorns, samaras, berries) attract and feed several mammals. Plants also provide them with protection against certain predators.
The tree protects against noise
Trees are used to reduce ambient noise. Sound screens are useful along roads where traffic is particularly heavy and noisy. A belt of trees 30 meters thick reduces noise by 6 to 8 decibels. Attenuation of 12 decibels corresponds to a reduction in sound sensation of the order of 50%. The trees, by the density of their foliage, therefore form an effective bulwark against the background noise of road traffic. The rustling of the leaves added to the song of the birds nesting there, also helps to mask the noises of the city.
The tree is an architectural element that enhances the landscape
The tree is an architectural element in its own right, which breaks the monotony and rigidity of the structures. Trees stand out from the perspective of streets and main arteries and can obscure unsightly places. On the outskirts of a building or a well-appointed residence, trees harmonize with and enhance architectural elements. By their silhouette, the trees stand out from the often cold landscape that characterizes the urban environment.
The tree is an ornament
The vegetation, especially trees, enhances the aesthetics of the cityscape by creating a change in texture, a contrast of colors and shapes compared to adjacent buildings.
