Texas's Forest Area Coverage
Texas has a forest area coverage of 11% which means that approximately 62.4 million acres of Texas land is covered in forests.

The forests in this region are home to a variety of trees, including loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, and red oak. The forests in Texas are also facing a number of challenges, the most significant challenge being climate change. Climate change is causing the forests to become more susceptible to pests and diseases, and it is also causing the forests to become more prone to wildfires.

The Impact of Wildfire on Texas Air Quality

Forest fires have a significant impact on the Air Quality Index (AQI). Forest fires release large amounts of particulate matter into the air, which can have harmful effects on human health. Forest fires also produce carbon monoxide, which is harmful when inhaled in high concentrations. Forest fires can also release other pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), depending on the composition of the vegetation being burned. These pollutants can further deteriorate air quality and contribute to an increased AQI.
