"Trees make up an essential part of the earth's ecosystem , but rapid deforestation is having harmful effects on the planet. Deforestation refers to the clearance of forests through logging and burning. The main cause of deforestation is the use of trees for lumber and fuel. Forests are also cut down to make room for farming. But while deforestation can provide a short-term boost to struggling economies, it is also causing harm to the environment. Adverse effects of deforestation include erosion of soil, disruption of the water cycle, loss of biodiversity , and flooding and drought. The most harmful effect, though, may be on the climate. Deforestation leads to a greater accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which in turn may warm the planet."
