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.
These ecological effects of biodiversity in turn affect both climate change through enhanced greenhouse gases, aerosols and loss of land cover, and biological diversity, causing a rapid loss of ecosystems and extinctions of species and local populations.
