How does deforestation affect farming?

Answer 1

There are positive and negative impacts.

On the positive side, industries such as logging, mining or farming stand to gain from the forests. In logging, loggers basically cut down trees for wood for income. In mining, miners would clear large areas of forests to access the minerals beneath the ground, which can be profitable as well. Farmers clear land to plants their own crops, as well as let farm animals roam in the forests that are cleared, also for monetary gain.

Towns can be built after forests are cleared for housing people to prevent overpopulation in a certain area due to rapid population growth. As such, infrastructure such as roads, rails, airports etc have to be built to serve residents living in the area, clearing more forests to bring convenience to people.

On the negative side, the Earth would be gradually heating up. Trees help take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. With less trees, less exchange of the gases would take place. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, would then contribute to global warming.

Deforestation causes the topsoil to be washed off, resulting in infertile land for future growth of trees. And these sediments are washed into the water bodies, resulting in water pollution, which kills off marine life. This makes our water unsuitable for drinking as it is contaminated.

When forests are cleared by burning, it causes air pollution due to carbon dioxide being released into the air through burning. At times, when the burning gets out of control, the pollution gets much more worse. This does not only contribute to global warming, but affects our health too.

Answer 2

Deforestation can negatively impact farming by reducing biodiversity, disrupting water cycles, and causing soil erosion. It can also lead to loss of habitats for beneficial insects and animals that help with crop pollination and pest control. Additionally, deforestation can contribute to climate change, which can further impact farming practices and crop yields.

Answer 3

Tree roots hold soil. If the trees are no longer there, either the rain in a wet climate or the wind in a dry climate will erode the soil away. Trees also block wind. Mud slides can be a threat on hills where trees once held the ground in place.

Answer 4

these are just points so then later you can emphasise.

1.the beauty of the city is only there by trees, no trees no beauty.

2. the carbon dioxide in that area increases causing more diseases to occur and this will make the city disease prone.

3.When there will be no trees in the cities then,the polllution will increase.it is already much but if there will be no trees it will increase more and more

3. some cases have happened where the animals who used to live in that forest will come into the houses that are built right next to their home which is now gone.

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 5

• Loss of animal and bird habitat.
• Loss of trees removing Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere.
• Increase in enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

Answer 6

if no trees are there in the village the beauty of the village will decrease

Answer 7

It affects the farms by adopting the piggys and making them fat and have no bacon on them

Answer 8

Roots of plants hold the soil together and plants slow water runoff when it rains. Without plants the soil will erode much faster.

Answer 9

i dont know please help me to answer

Answer 10

Deforestation doesn't affect urban areas directly .Deforestation leads to migration of animals to these areas which leads to accidental contact of animals with humans. This may harm animals and human both. It also increases global warming ,pollution level in the cities.
