It causes a lot of issues all around, starting with replenishment of the forest:
It takes years for trees to fully grow (20 years and beyond, upwards to 50 to 100 years before they're mature enough to be harvested again). Second, trees absorb water in the soil in their roots so they can continue to grow, without trees to absorb water, the soil becomes saturated and weak, this can cause mud and land slides, as well as damage the soil so things can't grow anymore. Then animals which make shelter out of those trees (birds, critters, and bugs), this causes their natural predators (think of the food chain) to be displaced also. Another thing too is trees act as "filters" for our air, absorbing harmful toxins in the air like carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Taking away trees takes away nutrients from the soil, as the leaves fall down in the fall, they decompose, adding nutrients to the soil...
So when you see people upset about deforestation, you can understand further as to why it is an issue...

∙ 12y agoCutting down trees effects the ecosystem because you are taking away an animals natural habitat, which forces them to move into a more crowded area. Because they are moving into a more crowded area, there are not going to be enough resources for all of the organisms to survive.
