Destruction of the Rainforest Effects. All of these activities contribute to the major deforestation we are seeing now, and this destruction is hugely detrimental to the environment. Drought. One effect of the clearing is drought. The rainforest produces half of its own rainfall as the trees release moisture into the atmosphere. As trees disappear, so does this rain, causing the remaining trees to dry up and die. The drought can also lead to wildfires, which destroy even more of rainforest.

- Plants and forests Deforestation in the tropics affects climate around the world, study finds “The effects of tropical deforestation on climate go well beyond carbon,” says Professor Deborah Lawrence, “[it] causes warming locally, regionally, and globally, and it changes rainfall by altering the movement of heat and water.”

Wildlife conservation Global Warming and Extreme Weather. Global warming is making hot days hotter, rainfall and flooding heavier, hurricanes stronger and droughts more severe. This intensification of weather and climate extremes will be the most visible impact of global warming in our everyday lives. It is also causing dangerous changes to the landscape of our world, adding stress to wildlife species and their habitat.

WWFAbout Us How to HelpSearchSearch wDonate AdoptOur Work Species Places It is estimated that 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation. Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rainforests because these forests are home to much of the world’s biodiversity.For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has been lost in the last 50 years, mostly due to forest conversion for cattle ranching.any of the world’s most threatened and endangered animals live in forests, and 1.6 billion people rely on benefits forests offer, including food, fresh water, clothing, traditional medicine and shelter. But forests around the world are under threat from deforestation, jeopardizing these benefits.

- Consequences of deforestation Deforestation has some important consequences: It reduces the rate at which carbon dioxide is absorbed and ‘locked away’ in the plant biomass by photosynthesis, as there are fewer trees.

- Deforestation and desertification adversely affect agricultural productivity, the health of humans as well as of livestock, and economic activities such as eco-tourism. Hence, they have serious socio-economic implications too.

Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest The main causes of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest are human settlement and development of the land. In the nine years from 1991 to 2000, the area of Amazon rainforest cleared rose from 415,000 to 587,000 km 2 (160,000 to 227,000 sq mi), comparable to the total land area of Spain, Madagascar or Manitoba.n the nine years from 1991 to 2000, the area of Amazon rainforest cleared rose from 415,000 to 587,000 km 2 (160,000 to 227,000 sq mi), comparable to the total land area of Spain, Madagascar or Manitoba.

The Effect of Deforestation on the Climate and Environment Deforestation not only affects the climate by increasing the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide but also affects the environment by inhibiting water recycling, triggering severe flooding, aquifer depletion, soil degradation and the extinction of plant and animal species.

Deforestation : Positive and Negative Consequences (Technorati / Nandu Green) Agriculture practice on top of deforestation can result to the desertification of many areas. Desertification is also a direct result of the demand for the soil to produce more (as a consequence of the increase in human population), thereby decreasing to a significant degree the land’s carrying capacity.

Rainforests, grasslands and wetlands Rainforests receive a lot of rain because they are usually located near coasts and rivers. In addition, rainforests lose a lot of water through transpiration, or the process through which plants give off water, which causes more clouds to form above them.

Climate Change and the Amazon Rainforest By Rhett Butler [citation] Climate change may have a significant impact on the Amazon, according to a number of studies conducted since the mid-1990's. Of particular concern is the link between sea temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and drought in the Amazon.he researchers say the work will help them better understand the role of Amazon rainforest in global climate change. Amazon rainforest fires date back thousands of years (03/14/2007) Fires are nothing new to the Amazon reports a study published in the journalBiotropica.

Effects of tropical cyclones Outline of tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones portal. The main effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges at landfall, and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical cyclone depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Tropical cyclones act to remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas, by moving and reshaping sand dunes and causing extensive erosion along the coast. Even well inland, heavy rainfall can lead to mudslides and landslides in mountainous areas. Their eff

Rainforest Fungi are also very common in rainforest areas as they can feed on the decomposing remains of plants and animals. Many rainforest species are rapidly disappearing due to deforestation, habitat loss and pollution of the atmosphere.

Deforestation A study in Rondônia, Brazil, has shown that deforestation also removes the microbial community which is involved in the recycling of nutrients, the production of clean water and the removal of pollutants.

- 1 The high temperature and moisture of tropical rainforests cause dead organic matter in the soil to decompose more quickly than in other climates, thus releasing and losing its nutrients rapidly. 2  The high volume of rain in tropical rainforests washes nutrients out of the soil more quickly than in other climates.

Forests How can forests affect climate change? Figure 2.12: Total carbon stock in forests by region Forests influence climate change largely by affecting the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When forests grow, carbon is removed from the atmosphere and absorbed in wood, leaves and soil. Because forests (and oceans) can absorb and store carbon over an extended period of time, they are considered “carbon sinks”.

- The immediate causes of rainforest destruction are clear. The main causes of total clearance are agriculture and in drier areas, fuelwood collection. The main cause of forest degradation is logging. Mining, industrial development and large dams also have a serious impact. Tourism is becoming a larger threat to the forests.

- On the other hand, rain forests affect the global climatic conditions by acting as pollution filters / “carbon sinks” / “lungs of the earth”. Rain forest trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and produce oxygen back into the atmosphere, by way of photosynthesis. (3)

- Scientists have been doing a lot of research into how acid rain affects the environment. It is thought that acid rain can cause trees to grow more slowly or even to die but scientists have found that it is not the only cause. The same amount of acid rain seems to have more effect in some areas than it does in others.
