*The water cycle, Trees draw water up through their roots and release it into the atmosphere. In Amazonia over half of all the water circulating through the ecosystem remains in the plants. With removal of part of the forest, it cannot hold as much water. The effect of this could be a drier climate. * Extinction of species which need the forest for survival. Forests contain more than half of the animals on our planet - as the habitat of these species is destroyed, so the numbers of species die.
