What happens after the tree is cut down?

Answer 1

basically everything dies...well everything that doesn't photosynthesize or are sensitive to climate change...which is about everything... trees use carbon dioxide and give us oxygen. We already don't have enough trees (that's the reason for glogal warming). also, lots of animals need trees as a habitat or a source of food, us included. see the problem?

Answer 2

Well, the tree rots and rots until in rots so much that it rots into the ground and is turned into soil. But if the tree is too big then it will probably take a long time to rot away into the ground and will probably get pulled out of the ground by some people and a truck.

Answer 3

It effects the world's global climate.

Answer

• When you cut down all the trees there will be no more oxygen for us to breathe, the Trees are like our oxygen tank; as they are cut down, the oxygen trees produce is lessened.
• The animals will also lose their homes, leaving them with no place to live.
• The balance between humans and animals breathing out CO2 and animals producing Oxygen will be disrupted, resulting in the atmosphere having less oxygen and more CO2.

Answer 4

Soil needs its large trees to maintain the soil's health. Generally speaking, cut trees result in:

1. less leaf litter which would decay on the forest's floor and add nutrients to the soil-- without trees, the soil becomes less rich
2. no roots to take nutrients and water from the soil -- without trees, the soil becomes less able to hold itself together
3. less able to handle rain because there are no trees or plants -- no trees means the soil can more easily become liquefied and cause mudslides on slopes and hillsides
4. soil that is more susceptible to water erosion
5. no cover from trees, no nutrients from leaf litter, and no roots to hold the soil makes the soil drier and more susceptible to wind erosion
6. because of all of these factors, seeds of plants and trees carried on the winds are less likely to settle on this soil and will not be able to start new plant and new tree growth
7. the forest will experience a long period of being unable to sustain growth

In addition to soil problems:

1. birds have no trees to nest in, so go elsewhere
2. no trees mean no tree bugs and grubs to feed small animals so small game leaves the area
3. without small game, larger game leaves the area too
4. streams and waterways suffer because of soil erosion into the waterway-- the waters become sluggish
5. frogs and fish find less oxygen in the waters, so their numbers drop

Without trees, nature becomes unbalanced. Even with reseeding saplings, it can take decades for the forest and its families of wildlife to recover both on land and in water.

Answer 5

well, when the trees are cut down they can grow back or they just die off.

Answer 6

We would die because it's from the trees we get oxygen.
