What is an effect of deforestation?
A
decrease in biodiversity
B
decrease in rainwater runoff
C
decrease in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
D
decrease in the amount of water on Earth
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deforestation can directly lead to biodiversity loss when animal species that live in the trees no longer have their habitat, cannot relocate, and therefore become extinct. Deforestation can lead certain tree species to permanently disappear, which affects biodiversity of plant species in an environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biodiversity loss can have significant direct human health impacts if ecosystem services are no longer adequate to meet social needs. Indirectly, changes in ecosystem services affect livelihoods, income, local migration and, on occasion, may even cause or exacerbate political conflict.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conclusion. Effects of deforestation on wildlife lead to food shortage, habitat fragmentation, habitat loss, and loss of biodiversity. Many species that were in abundance in the past are now at the brink of extinction, only because of deforestation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deforestation has a tremendous effect on the biosphere. It leads to carbon emissions, changes in water and other elemental cycles, destruction of habitat, and biodiversity loss. The primary reason for deforestation is the conversion of forested lands to agricultural lands.

Detailed explanation-5: -#1. Deforestation harms biomass and worsens climate change. #2. Deforestation makes air pollution worse. #3. Deforestation increases the risk for more pandemics. #4. Deforestation threatens the creation of medicines. #5. Deforestation leads to greater soil erosion. #6. #7. #8. More items
