Paragraph On Deforestation

In this paragraph, we will focus on the harmful effects of deforestation. The effects of deforestation can be jotted down. The first effect of deforestation is the degradation of soil quality. Degradation of soil quality is triggered by the removal of the topsoil layer. The trees hold on to the topsoil with their roots. The roots are used to derive nutrients from the soil. When deforestation occurs, the trees are either cut down or uprooted. The former leads to soil loosening and the later causes the roots to decay. Decaying roots increase the number of alkaline salts in the soil, making them unfit for agriculture.

So deforestation has adverse effects on agriculture. The reduction of trees also several effects on the air quality of a place. Trees release oxygen during photosynthesis. The release of oxygen causes air quality to remain standard. The cutting down of trees impurifies the air. The natural filters are gone. The pollution levels increase. Carbon monoxide emissions cannot be curbed as the number of vehicles increase. The trees also can’t protect the air from getting polluted. So the rampant deforestation also causes Air Pollution. In addition to Air pollution, deforestation causes soil erosion and degradation of soil quality. Deforestation must, hence, be curbed.
