Deforestation and Habitat Loss

They can be grown again quickly, so they are renewable.

Forest fires, disease and pest epidemics, flooding, avalanches, and even beavers and elephants can kill trees. However, these events are all part of a forest cycle; the trees will return given time. The difference with man-made deforestation is that we may not replant the trees and our activities on the deforested land may prohibit the regrowth of trees for a long time (or, in the case of desertification, perhaps never).

Deforestation frequently causes erosion. Tree roots hold the soil in place and impede the flow of water from a rainstorm. As a result, they make the water run much slower. Slower water carries far less dirt. That causes far less erosion. When the material making water move slower is removed, water speeds up. It caries more stuff away. Try an experiment. If you have a garden hose, turn it on. Point it at a tree trunk. See what happens. Then point it at some bare dirt. See what happens. Notice the difference between what happens when something is there to hold back the water and something is not there. Now picture the difference when tree roots hold the soil in place and when they are not there.

In South America, the Incas terraced the mountains so they would not wash away. In Nicaragua, the mountains have washed away. Deforestation without making any adjustment has caused mudslides with the mud covering the villages below killing the inhabitants.

deforestation takes away the roots of trees that help hold the ground together. when you remove the trees, the soil is less packed and is more liable to wash away in a storm, therefore changing the elevation, coastline, etc.

Deforestation destroys the habitats of millions of species of plants and animals that will need the areas of forest to survive. Thus, it may lead to the extinction of these species, causing havoc in the biological food chains and the delicate balance of the ecosystem of these areas.

Deforestation leaves the soil bare to erosion and leaching (the depletion of nutrients in the soil). Thus, over time the soil will lose its fertility, and eventually desertification may occur in the area that was once covered by trees.

The removal of trees adds to the high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as trees are needed to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and when there is too much of it global warming results.if there will be less trees due to heavy rainfall it cause flood.

everyone will die because we wont be able to breath

By far, the most oxygen is produced by marine plants and algae, though forests are significant too. Deforestation will stop because it will become economically non-viable.

hmmm, watching how much we reproduce...

The clearing of Forrest and expiation of roads can lead to deforestation.

All the organisms and living things in that forest will become homeless, and there will be a short supply of food for everything that was living in the forest, and a lot of things wouldn't survive.

True . :P

Use less paper, and walk/bike/public transit more often, Recycle. Basically keep doing good enviromental things (even if they dont seem to connect to the rainforest) and your good deeds will eventually reach the rainforest :)

In the rainforest's, every few years 60% of the forest is cut down. This is equal to about 2.3 million square miles. Also, if you need to know, 6.8 BILLION metres of waste fills the rainforest's, so this is damage too. This can cause the cutting down of trees so be ready for more. :)

170 acres per second in the world

creating legislation like the Forests Now Declaration

organisms interact because they need each other for foodsources and to say alive. \

Less CO2 would be used up by trees = Less oxygen to be produced = Global warming speeds up = Many animals lose their homes; thus their lives = Our universe will become meaningless eventually
Without trees, there will be flooding as trees can soak up to 1,000 gallons a day. Without trees, there will be very little to soak up carbon dioxide and cleanse the air. Without trees all species depending on it would become extinct. Without trees, the climate would heat up faster as there will no natural "air-conditioning."

people like cattle ranchers need a lot of space to herd cattle etc. cutting down trees can provide that space, also some trees in forests like the Amazon forest are very valuable especially trees like mahogany, but in the felling of the particular mahogany tree trees around can also be toppled over having a domino effect. other people do it for mining, the forest can contain many valuable metals such as gold and people need to move the trees in order to get to these trees, and also as you well know alot of trees are vital in the world today many things are made out of trees, e.g. paper, tables etc.

deforistation ruins the foodchains because it affects the habitat of a producer so then there are less which means less food for the preditor above and so on.

To stop cutting down trees, the people of the world have to find more ways to used recycled paper. Recycled paper is now big business in the United States. International Paper is a company that recycles cardboard to be used in many other products, including paper.

100% of deforestation affects the environment in some ways, whether it is the destruction of native animals' habitats, or the loss of carbon sinks, or the removal of roots and shrubbery that binds the topsoil.

# meaning for deforestation and causes and effect and view == ==

Deforestation happens due to the agriculture, search for fuel, search for pasture for animals, and in an effort to settle the ever increasing human population. Deforestation has an effect of increasing soil erosion, desertification, loss of biodiversity and green house effect.

flooding is one, because without the roots, the water can pass through soil easily, and if, one day nearly half the trees in the world are chopped down, that may lead to problems inside us, because when we breath out co2, the plants absorb it and breath out oxygen. that's all i have for now but when i find out more, I'll add them on.
