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
