The given illustration provides information about the effects of deforestation.
Overall, the deforestation brings many negative consequences including flooding, decreased biodiversity, drought and soil erosion are some of them.
As is presented in the illustration, the main consequences and outcomes of deforestation could be divided into four major categories. First, heavy logging tools and equipment compress the soil which in terms makes the soil hard and baked. Because of that rainwater runs off and the devastating floods hit us. Secondly, because of the cutting trees from the forest, only few roots hold the topsoil in place and this causes soil erosion.
Thirdly, the risk of deliberate or accidental burning increases and waste woods from the logging is destroyed. Microorganisms rely on the waste lost and pioneer species move in while the vegetation is reduced. This whole process creates a great loss to biodiversity. Finally, because of deforestation less moisture returns to the air and that causes less precipitation. In turns it causes drought. The increased drought, soil erosion, and because of vegetation degradation less biodiversity could be observed.
