NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Destroys forest ecosystems, depriving wildlife of natural habitats and decreasing biodiversity. Still, fauna can return to the area when the forest is renewed. Increases the risks of soil erosion. Trees slow down water currents, preventing rill formation, this is why clear-cutting increases erosion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clearcutting increases the biological diversity of the forest, which enhances the habitat for a variety of wildlife. Some species of wildlife actually thrive better in brushy thickets of seedlings and small saplings.

Detailed explanation-3: -The number of wild animals decreases by cutting of forest because If the trees are gone, birds, reptiles, and insects lose their homes and food sources. That will affect the small mammals, which are a food source for mid-and large-sized mammals. It is a cascade effect that leads to species extinction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Clearcutting reduces biodiversity. Because clearcutting indiscriminately destroys entire areas, plant loss and destruction of animal habitat is unavoidable. Further environmental stress is put on many already endangered species that call the forest home.
