The effects of deforestation include: increased soil fertility, as without trees to absorb them, the essential mineral nutrients
remain in the soil. harm to downstream fisheries, due to sedimentation of waterways from increased soil erosion. increase in local rainfall and cooler temperatures, due to reduced plant respiration and transpiration. benefit to many species especially tropical and migratory species, due to habitat fragmentation.
Harm to downstream fisheries, due to sedimentation of waterways from increased soil erosion.
Explanation:
Deforestation is the reduction of forest area in a given territory, both because of nature or man-made causes. It results in the loss of habitats for many animal and plant species, the destruction of natural peoples' habitats and livelihoods, and increases soil erosion and large floods in valleys. Often, a previously forested area becomes waste land.
