IMPACTS OF DEFORESTATION
-
Impacts of deforestation are losses of lives of species, decline in population, reduction in biodiversity, increase in carbon dioxide which contributes to climate change, global warming, etc. Anshul
Mahe
- One of the biggest habitats affected- rainforests
b) Can cause changes in the climate and weather patterns- clouds are formed from the condensation of water from transpiration. No trees = No transpiration = no clouds and therefore, lesser rainfall. This leaves the land dry and arid
c) Increases the rate of soil erosion- fewer tree roots to keep the soil structure intact. As the topsoil is washed away, the land becomes less capable of supporting plant growth- less fertile.
-
d) The soil that is eroded can wash into nearby rivers- leads to clogging- can potentially result in floods as the rivers overspill their banks. Can lead to dams become non functional.

sana: can lead to soil erosion and be a cause of climate change (more carbon dioxide- greenhouse effect). can have an impact on the water cycle. more competition for resources among organisms in the habitat. there will be more water vapor in the air.
