Clear cutting
Habitat Destruction
Lack of shade for soil
Exposed to the elements
Reduced atmospheric c02 uptake
Soil Erosion
sediment Buildup in nearby waterways.
Reduced biodiversity
Lack of shade for vegetation
Succession habitat is dominated by different species
higher rate of evaporation
Reduced carbon fixation
Cloudier water and river bank collapses
Wider waterways
Accelerated flooding
Sediment build up in low areas making riverbeds higher.
less water being stored and slowly released
Leads to drought
Reduced evapotranspiration
Less humidity in the air
Increased C02 in the atmosphere
