Explanation:
- yes because in a forest area of falling tree leaves acts as a huge sponge this absorbs rainwater and prevents run off and soil erosion the absorbed water percolates to the groundwater and recharge it over a period of time
- when trees are cut down and burned allowed to rot their stored carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide and this is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warming that is of greenhouse effect

Answer:
a.) Besides reducing base flow, afforestation can affect how water filters through the ecosystem. "Afforested sites are not as 'splashy' as pastured sites," says Skaggs. Tree roots help to filter water into the soil, thus slowing the rate at which water levels rise after rain.
b.) When forests are cleared and trees burned, carbon dioxide is released into the air. Rice paddies on lands converted from forests produce methane gas which also contributes to the greenhouse effect.
