Effects of Deforestation. 1  Tree roots cause gaps in the soil. 2  Trees absorb water and give out some moisture to the atmosphere. 3  Birds, insects and animals lose their homes.  Plants soak up CO2 during photosynthesis and give out 1  oxygen. Insect plagues occur.
Deforestation also has a profound effect on many of the worldâs water cycles. Reduced vegetation and ground-cover leads to a general drying-out of the soil â which over time leads to lower levels of rain. And, eventually, leads to significant soil erosion and desertification.
