Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plants take up carbon dioxide exhaled by animals and release oxygen inhaled by animals. Thus, forests maintain a balance between the two gases in atmosphere. Deforestation disturbs this balance and increases the amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
