NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The roots of trees hold the soil tightly, when trees are removed from the soil, the soil becomes loose and thus soil erosion and floods increase to manifolds. Thus, deforestation has a major effect on the environment and the water cycle which leads to a decrease in rainfall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Forest areas, among all types, maintain and provide the most humidity to the air. The implication of this process is straightforward: air that travels over forest delivers more rainfall. As a result, deforestation reduces rainfall.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -It is a serious environmental concern since it can result in the loss of biodiversity, damage to natural habitats, disturbances in the water cycle, and soil erosion. Deforestation is also a contributor to climate change and global warming.
