the cause and effects of Deforestation The cutting down of forest or deforestation can affect us and have serious effects on our environment as well. A few effects of deforestation are soil erosion‚ disruption of the water cycle‚ and possible even global warming When forest areas are cleared‚ it results in exposing the soil to the sun. Which would make the soil very dry and eventually‚ infertile‚ due to nitrogen being lost. In addition‚ when there is rainfall‚ it washes away the nutrients
