What exactly do trees do? (other than looks)

[avamk]

Hello,

I have the impression that trees reduce noise pollution, is that true? And do trees serve any other practical purpose other than decoration? Increase land value, reduce pollution, increase happiness, etc.??? Is there a definitive list of their functions?

If they don't do much, I think there should definitely be a suggestion that they do something (like SimCity 4 if I remember correctly).

As far as I know, they reduce pollution and noise.

I see, is this documented somewhere? I wonder if there is a way to mod it to also affect land value and happiness, or just be part of a future DLC/patch?

Trees only reduce noise pollution. In ground pollution, they die WITHOUT reducing the amount of pollution.

Thanks for the two replies. Sounds like the functions of trees are actually quite limited... oh well. Perhaps I just add to the suggestions list for trees to do more.
