How does the natural vegetation influence your community?

Step-by-step explanation:

Vegetation can affect climate and weather patterns due to the release of water vapour during photosynthesis. The release of vapor into the air alters the surface energy fluxes and leads to potential cloud formation.

Vegetation includes all plants from evergreen forests to grassy meadows and cropland. All types of plants play a role in both the water cycle and the earth’s energy balance. They affect weather and climate mostly through transpiration and albedo.

With vegetation covering about 20% of our planet, it’s no surprise that plants affect climate. However, it is surprising how much plants affect weather. Plants process and release water vapor (necessary for cloud formation) and absorb and emit energy used to drive weather. Plants also produce their own micro-weather by controlling the humidity and temperature immediately surrounding their leaves through transpiration. Most plants and forest soils have a very low albedo, (about .03 to .20) and absorb a large amount of energy. However, plants don’t contribute to overall warming because the excess warmth is offset by evaporative cooling from transpiration.

Answer: Vegetation can affect many things such as climate change and weather patterns as through photosynthesis they release water vapors. These vapors get released then can create surface energy fluxes and create clouds.
