If there is an environmental or selective pressure it will contribute to the evolution of an organism by giving an adnantage to the organisms of a population who have a trait which allows them to survive that change. The advantageous genes will be passed on and the number of organisms with the desirable feature will increase over time, however the number of organisms that lack the characteristic will decrease over time. This is evolution by natural selection.

What is one byproduct of slash-and-burn clearing of the rain forest that is harming the atmosphere?
morpeh [17]

It has been estimated that ‘slash and burn’ agriculture is used by up to 500 million people worldwide. The term describes the practice of cutting and/or burning of natural vegetation for conversion into agricultural fields. Besides the disastrous implications for forest ecosystems, the practice can impact the atmosphere in two main ways if burning is implemented. Firstly by causing air pollution from the smoke, and secondly by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas and a driver of climate change. Living trees also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, and the process of ‘slash and burn’ effectively removes their carbon capturing contributions to ameliorating climate change.
