Question

what are the important of rates of deforestation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Deforestation, clearance, clearcutting or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land which is then converted to a non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests. About 31% of Earth's land surface is covered by forests.

The primary cause of deforestation is agriculture. Trees are cut down for use as building material or sold as fuel (sometimes in the form of charcoal or timber), while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock and plantation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The combination of extremely high deforestation rates, increased temperatures and decreasing rainfall are all contributing to the desertification of the country. The carbon emissions from deforestation is also said to account for 87% of the total carbon emissions of the country.

Hence forests also reduce air pollution. Forests also prevent soil erosion and keep soil pollution in check. Deforestation, in fact, leads to soil erosion on a large scale since the topsoil comes loose. Forests also play an important part in the water cycle and control moisture levels of our ecosystem.
