It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.

∙ 13y agotrees need carbon dioxide to go into photosynthesis to produce oxygen but with out trees there wont be any oxygen and too much carbon and we will all die
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWhen there are less trees it makes the remaining trees work harder to make carbon into Oxygen. the trees die faster that way.

∙ 11y agoAtmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels go up, because dead trees can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What human activities affect the carbon cycle positively and negatively?
The carbon cycle is the natural movement of carbon throughout the biosphere. There is no positive way that human activity affects it.Negative effects of human activity on the carbon cycle:Deforestation and combustion of fossil fuels are overloading the carbon cycle. By cutting down the forests we no longer have trees to remove the carbon from the atmosphere. By burning coal, oil and natural gas we are releasing age-old carbon from millions of years ago into the atmosphere.
What is the continuous movement of carbon from nonliving environment into living things and then back to nonliving?
the carbon cycle
What cycle involves photosynthesis and respiration?
No cycle. Transpiration is part of the water cycle, and photosynthesis is what plants do to feed themselves.Carbon cycle involves both of them. Photosynthesis remove Carbon from atmosphere. Respiration release them back
What is the process that is the basis of the carbon cycle?
process that is the basis of the carbon cycle
What is the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is a process by which carbon is cycled between the atmosphere, land, water and organisms. Carbon enters a short-term cycle in an ecosystem when producers, such as plants, convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis.The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth
Why cutting of forests affects the water cycle?
Cutting of forests affects the water cycle because forests are the main part of water cycle. It is the factor which is balancing the water cycle to complete its cycle. Forests cause rain without forests, it is nearly impossible to create water cycle for the nature itself. Forests also prevents soil errosion.

Why is Forest important?
Forests are important because they remove Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (a greenhouse gas causing global warming) from the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle. Forests will also remove the carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) if there are enough forests. Unfortunately, we are still cutting them down!
Do humans affect the carbon cycle by destroying vegetation?
Yes, the destruction of vegetation, especially the great forests of the world, means that more carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere.
What cycle will Deforestation affect?
It can affect the Carbon Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle and Water Cycle.
How does the carbon cycle affect mangroves?
With carbon dioxide.
What is importance of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
What affect does the burning of focil fuels have on the carbon cycle
Does water pollution affect the carbon cycle?
Yes it affects carbon cycle. All organic substances comprise of carbon.
How does photosynthesis in plants affect the carbon cycle?
there
How does a tsunami affect the carbon cycle?
when is explode stuff
How can a car affect the carbon cycle?
It can just by affecting it.
How do photosynthesizing plants affect the carbon cycle?
They don't affect the carbon cycle, they are part of it. Vegetation is one of the many ways that carbon moves in and out of the air. Another common way is the ocean absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
