Describe three ways in which deforestation damages the local environment?

Explanation:

1. Increased green house gases: In addition to the loss of habitat, the lack of trees also allows a greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. Healthy forests absorbs carbon dioxide  from the atmosphere, acting as valuable carbon sinks. Deforested areas lose that ability and release more carbon.

2. Water in the atmosphere:

The trees also help control the level of water in the atmosphere by helping to regulate the water cycle . In deforested areas, there is less water in the air to be returned to the soil. This then causes dryer soil and the inability to grow crops.

3. Soil erosion and flooding:

Further effects of deforestation include soil erosion  and coastal flooding. Trees help the land to retain water and topsoil, which provides the rich nutrients to sustain additional forest life.
