What is a common environmental effect of deforestation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Soil erosion can increase

Tree roots bind the soil and slow down the flow of rainwater. When forests are cleared, the fertile topsoil can be carried away by water or wind, increasing soil erosion. Wildlife habitats decrease rather than increase. Exam tip: remember soil erosion, habitat loss, and changes in the rainfall cycle as major effects of deforestation.
