It means a decrease in the oxygen and clean air production function of an entire forest in the north of Istanbul. The northern winds will now carry less air. In metropolises like Istanbul, temperatures rise in the long run. The climate balance is deteriorating. Green areas in metropolitan areas should be more holistic. As the northern forests break down, the effect of Istanbul on maintaining heat balance decreases. Istanbul city temperature is increasing. "
