Answer 2

Some estimates put it at 100 trees cut down each minute. Scary stuff, but I think it may be even higher. The problem isn't the reduction of oxygen production, but rather the release of carbon that was previously stored in the tissues of the tree and the loss of habitat. It would be pretty hard to calculate how much oxygen is produced by an "adult tree" since there are so many different sized trees. Most of the world's oxygen produced by plants is from photosynthetic plankton and algae living in the oceans.

Answer 3

In the US, there are more trees being planted than being cut. There are more trees now than 100 yrs ago.
The problem of deforestation is in South America,.
Corn makes more oxygen per acre than old trees that are almost stopped growing.
Vegetation only makes oxygen when it is actively growing
