DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The plants and the trees keep the soil bounded together and allow absorption of water in the soil. Deforestation leads to the exposure of the first layer of the soil, which may get washed away easily. This leads to the depletion of the water table in that region.

Detailed explanation-2: -If deforestation levels continue to rise, the Amazon will dry up, turning into a lifeless, flat, and barren wasteland with no memory of the once thriving rainforest. Cutting down trees decreases our source of oxygen, increases atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and directly impacts the water cycle.
