1. If there is no tree roots that made it able for soil to change chemicals and nutrients, the quality of soil will decrease. It simply means that there will be no more circulation of chemicals and nutrients between the roots and the soil & atmosphere.
2. Many harbivorous and omnivorous animals will lose a main source of food in the particular affected area. It can lead to disastrous effects on the ecology in the particular area.

Deforestation affect water cycle in a serious way. It slows down the process of transpiration.
Water cycle can be interrupted by deforestation. Water pollution can also affect it.
Deforestation reduces the gross amount of oxygen produced by an ecosystem it reduces the amount of oxygen produced .
Human activities effect a nutrient cycle by increasing the amounts of nutrients in the cycle faster then natural biotic and abiotic processes can move them back to the stores.
Deforestation disrupts the nitrogen cycle by reducing the number of trees that take in nitrogen from the atmosphere and incorporate it into their biomass. As a result, there is less nitrogen available for other plants in the ecosystem, leading to decreased plant growth and nutrient depletion. Additionally, deforestation increases soil erosion, which can lead to the loss of nitrogen-rich topsoil and further disrupt the nitrogen cycle.
Deforestation will affect the carbon and water cycles. Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen, so their removal increases carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, trees play a role in regulating the water cycle by helping to maintain local and regional rainfall patterns through transpiration and influencing soil moisture levels.
People can disrupt nutrient cycles by altering the natural flow of nutrients through activities like deforestation, agriculture, and industrial pollution. Excessive fertilizer use can lead to nutrient imbalances in soils and water bodies, while deforestation can reduce nutrient input into ecosystems. Additionally, activities like mining and urban development can release stored nutrients into the environment at unnatural rates.
Deforestation destroys their habitat.
it stops the soil from growing I will add to this; it also affects the plants growing we need plants because they give us oxygen, medicine, a habitat, water, food and a climate we need plants. So basically deforestation destroys the nutrient cycle because it stops the plants from growing.
Deforestation may cause adverse effects for water cycle in Pakistan. Abnormal behavior of rainfall in recent years, decrease of ground water are of few example of this. There is a strong need of cultivating more trees especially in rainy areas to overcome this issue.
Water helps carbon and other elements to complete the nutrient cycle.
Respiration is part of the carbon cycle and does not affect global warming.
