.

First,

when the

soil

is compressed by heavy equipment. It causes the

soil

to become hard and 'baked', causing rainwater to run off and result in flooding.

Next,

the accompanying consequence of logging is that there are fewer roots to hold together. Leading to

soil

erosion. The third impact is forest burning, both deliberate and accidental, increasing the risk of forest fires. The waste that remains after logging is destroyed and the micro-organisms that feed on

this

material are lost. And

finally

to degraded vegetation . The final consequence is a reduction in the amount of moisture plants return to the air. Because there is less moisture in the air, it leads to less rainfall, leading to increased drought. It leads to reduced plant growth leading to degradation and loss of plant biodiversity.
