Biodiversity:Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms in a particular habitat or on Earth as a whole. Deforestation can lead to a loss of biodiversity as many species rely on forests for their survival.
Carbon Sequestration: Carbon sequestration is the process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured from the atmosphere and stored long-term in vegetation, soils, or other reservoirs. Deforestation reduces carbon sequestration capacity since trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis.
Desertification:Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert-like due to factors like deforestation, climate change, or unsustainable agricultural practices. Deforestation can contribute to desertification by removing protective tree cover that helps retain moisture in soil.
