The Impact of Deforestation on Plants and the Urgency for Conservation of plants
|
- Global Warming: It increases the temperature and pollution level on the earth.
- Lowering Water Table: Ground Groundwater level also gets lowered.
- Impact soil Quality: Rainfall and the fertility of the soil also decrease with increased chances of natural calamities such as floods and droughts.
- This depreciates the soil quality.
- Increased CO2: Fewer trees results in increased levels of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere, Mitigate Carbon with Conservation of plants.
- This can lead to global warming and increase in temperature on the earth.
- Soil Erosion: Fewer trees result in more soil erosion.
- Removal of the top layer of the soil exposes the lower, hard and rocky layers.
- This soil has less humus and is less fertile.
- Gradually the fertile land gets converted into deserts. It is called desertification.
- Deforestation also leads to a decrease in the water holding capacity of the soil.
- The movement of water from the soil surface into the ground (infiltration rate) is reduced, highlighting the critical role of Conservation of Plants in preserving soil health and water dynamics.
- It increases the chances of floods and lesser flood resistance.
