ECONOMICS (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for Indigenous people.

Detailed explanation-2: -Its impacts can be far-reaching, including loss of soil fertility, destruction of species habitat and biodiversity, soil erosion, and excessive nutrient runoff into lakes. Land degradation also has serious knock-on effects for humans, such as malnutrition, disease, forced migration, cultural damage, and even war.

Detailed explanation-3: -The extinction of the forest cover affects the biodiversity which in turn threaten peoples lives. Shrinking of the forests cause wide-reaching problems like soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, water cycle disruption, greenhouse gas emissions, changes in the climatic conditions, and loss of biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Increase in temperature and global warming. Increased soil erosion by wind and rain, increased flooding. Extinction of wildlife (forest animals and plants). Disruption of the water cycle.
