Rome: Forests exist on a large part of the earth left after human population and oceans. Humans can be counted in the world but it is almost impossible to count trees. A new study has estimated that 73,000 species of trees may exist on Earth, including 9,200 species that are yet to be discovered. Most of these undiscovered species are rare and few in number and are likely to be threatened by human development, the researchers said. South America has about 43 percent of the world’s tree species. The world’s rarest tree species are also found here. According to the researchers, the findings of the study suggest that the continent should be the center of global tropical and subtropical forests as well as tree conservation efforts as these forests are home to many rare and overlooked species. Scientists have detected 64,000 species, this study is the result of a three-year international project. About 150 scientists took part in it and about 40 million trees belonging to 64,000 species were identified. The study’s lead author, Roberto Cazzola Gatti, Professor at the University of Bologna, said that comprehensive knowledge of the development and diversity of trees is vital to maintaining the stability and functionality of ecosystems. This study has been done under the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative of 73,300 species of trees present on Earth. In this complex statistical analysis was done using artificial intelligence and supercomputers. After the completion of this analysis and calculations, the researchers estimated that there are about 73,300 tree species on our planet. Of this, 14 percent of the species are still unknown.
