How do you think the removal of vegetation affects oxygen in the atmosphere?

Since Oxygen is a product of Photosynthesis which is what plants do as they take in and use up Carbon di Oxide (CO2) in order to grow. As vegetation was removed there would obviously be a decrease in the amount of Oxygen and an increase of CO2 available in the atmosphere.
Therefore we would not be able to breathe.
We would be able to breathe but because of the lack of Oxygen we would breathe heavier and more rapidly. The more the Oxygen is depleted the more rapidly we would breath and the harder it would become for us to stay alive until eventually there would be insufficient Oxygen to sustain life and all life as we know it would cease to exist.

How do green vegetation help to increase the quantity of oxygen in the atmosphere?
green vegetation are plants and of course plants give out oxygen and take our carbondioxide
Has the amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere increased in recent years?
The amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere has not noticeably increased in recent years. The amount of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere is about 21%. It is part of the earth's oxygen cycle, the main driver of which is photosynthesis. Vegetation removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, releases the oxygen (O2) and stores the carbon (C).
Which process increases the amount of oxygen and decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis by green vegetation and forests.
What was the effect of cyclone Tracy on the atmosphere?
There was removal of trees. The oxygen supply declined and was of much poorer quality.
How the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere affects respiration?
The lower the percentage of oxygen air contains, the more frequent a breath must be taken in order to maintain the blood oxygen level at an acceptable level.
What effect does photosynthesis have on the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the source of virtually all the free oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.
Does nos pollute the air?
I theorize that since oxygen and nitrogen are both present in the atmosphere, there must be nitrous oxide in the air already. Therefore, I conclude that N2O will not have negative affects on the atmosphere.
What is the oxygen content of the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is 79.9% oxygen.
What percent of the atmosphere is oxygen'?
21% of the atmosphere is oxygen.
What is an aerobic atmosphere?
the environment which has the availability of oxygen it is called aerobic atmosphere and if the availability of oxygen is not there in atmosphere then it is anaerobic type We live in a aerobic atmosphere which has the oxygen available
Is there oxygen in Mercury?
No, there is no oxygen in Mercury's atmosphere because Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
Why doesnt the moon have oxygen?
The moon has no oxygen because it has no atmosphere.
