Answer: How deforestation affects our environment ? Deforestation is caused by the growing demand for forest products and the conversion of forest to agriculture as the human population continues to expand without sufficient reforestation, and results in declines in habitat and biodiversity, wood for fuel and industrial use, and quality of life. • Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Cutting down forests will cause a decline in photosynthetic activity which results in the atmosphere retaining higher levels of carbon dioxide. Forests also store an enormous amount of organic carbon which is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when forests are cleared by burning. Clearly, deforestation contributes to global warming and ocean acidification. • Water recycling is the movement of rain from the forest to land masses further inland. When rain falls on forests the water is intercepted by the forest canopy. Some of this intercepted water is returned
