Deforestation affects the food web because it alters the habitat and ecosystem of the organisms. Let's say a squirrel was living in a forest that was just deforested. Assuming it didn't get killed, it now wouldn't have a home because it lives in a tree. Also, it wouldn't have much of a food supply because it eats products from the trees (pine cones). Likely it would either move away, die, or be eaten because it doesn't have a shelter anymore.
