The flow chart illustrates the consequence of deforestation. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features.

The data depicts the negative effect of cutting trees in the forest.

Overall

, what stands out from the data is that there are four different outcomes of deforestation and three of these results from the same event.

Firstly

, when trees are cut down it can lead to the compression of the soil

due to

the use of heavy logging equipment in which the soil becomes hard and baked. After which, rainwater can't be absorbed and

thus

will run off the earth which ends in flooding the nearby community.

Secondly

, fewer roots to hold the topsoil will

then

cause soil erosion.

Thirdly

, the risk of burning increases either deliberately or accidentally followed by the destruction of waste wood from logging, after that the food for the micro-organisms is lost.

Lastly

, the plants return less moisture to the air which

then

leads to less precipitation,

then

an increased drought.

Furthermore

, the consequences of

Correct your spelling

topsoil soil

erosion, loss of food for micro-organisms and increased drought are the moving in of pioneer species

as well as

the degradation of vegetation

thus

leading to lesser biodiversity.
