deforestation
rainfall patterns altered
flooding increased
top soil lost
erosion
less leaf litter and humus in soil
change in nutrient cycling
loss of habitat for pollinators and other organisms
less water retention of ecosystem
regeneration of vegetation affected
less CO2 absorbed by photosynthetic plants so CO2 levels rise
drought more likely
effect on plant and animal life altered
run off of surface water alter rain increased
more convection currents of moist air
temperature ranges increased
evaporation of soil moisture, evaporation of transpiration stream
light intensity altered
shade levels reduced
loss of undiscovered medicinally useful plants and animals
