This process, called transpiration, requires energy, which is extracted from the surrounding air, thus cooling it. A single tree can transpire hundreds of liters of water in a day. Each hundred liters has a cooling effect equivalent to two domestic air conditioners for a day, calculates Ellison."</p><p><a href="https://e360.yale.edu/features/how-deforestation-affecting-global-water-cycles-climate-change" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">e360.yale.edu/features/how-def</span><span class="invisible">orestation-affecting-global-water-cycles-climate-change</span></a></p><p>It's now part of my new <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Tegtmeier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tegtmeier</span></a> project: figure out how much eg.
