If we lost all the trees we would have bigger problems than oxygen, but that does not matter here. Most of our oxygen is produced by animals and plants in the deeper parts of the ocean. I imagine that out air would be a bit thinner, but we do not get our oxygen supply solely from the trees.

Oceans do not supply oxygen, but the plants which are present inside the oceans release oxygen & yes, if earth would be devoid of trees, the oxygen supplied by aquatic plants is enough to support life.(Atleast for some years)

The oceans are in worse trouble than the forests. The plankton that thrives on the surface of healthy water is dieing rapidly because the very tiny plants are extremely suseptable to poisons. Industrial poisons from smoke have already made large areas unfit for plankton life. At one time there was only a Dead Sea, now we have Dead Oceans.

The phytoplankton and algae in the ocean are responsible for over 50% of the current O2 production for the Earth. If they were somehow stimulated, then they might be able to supply us with enough O2 to live.

Trees don't make up the majority of oxygen producing biomass. There are also grasses, grains, mosses, algae, bushes, every manner of ground cover, flowers and the like. The oxygen level would be lower, but who knows how much.

It would contribute to the baseline deterioration
of the planet & it would start to suck at an ever increasingly accelerated pace.
New urban planning development projects of the future
will include trees on rooftops,which is a smart move.

I don't think that they would be. Plus, trees don't only supply us with oxygen. They also convert carbon minoxide into oxygen. Without trees, the air would be a great deal more polluted, the ozone would grow, and the oceans would dry up eventually.

Eventually the oceans would run out of O2 without trees and other vegetation. O2 is disolved in water, I assume from our atmosphere.

Nope.....this planet needs trees to sustain and maintain the great circle of life.
Some components of the circle are broken or dying.....we are already in trouble and are blissfully unaware............
