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.
Impacts of Deforestation: Biodiversity Impacts. Although tropical forests cover only about 7 percent of the Earthâs dry land, they probably harbor about half of all species on Earth. Many species are so specialized to microhabitats within the forest that they can only be found in small areas. Their specialization makes them vulnerable to extinction.
