Q

Effect of deforestation

A

loss of biodiversity:
as loss of habitats
extinction / migration of species
soil erosion:
no tree roots to hold soil…
so soil is washed away
leaching of minerals:
rain removes nutrients (minerals) from soil…
infertile land
more CO2 in atmosphere:
less trees
less photosynthesis
less CO2 removed
burning trees also releases CO2
contributing to global warming
climate change:
more greenhouse gases
enhanced greenhouse effect
