The lithosphere refers to the surface of Earth's outermost layer. On land, most of that surface is covered by soil. Deforestation damages the soil (and thus you could say damages the lithosphere) because when trees are removed, soil nutrients are no longer replenished by the leaves and twigs that usually provide soil microorganisms and insects with nutrients. This quickly depletes the soil of nutrients. In addition, the soil ends up being blown or washed away without trees to hold it in place.
