The flow chart shows the consequences of deforestation caused by clear cutting of forests.

Overall

Linking Words

, it can be seen that cutting down trees creates several environmental problems, including flooding, drought, damage to vegetation and a reduction in biodiversity.

Firstly

Linking Words

, heavy logging equipment compresses the soil, which makes it hard and “baked”.

As a result

Linking Words

, rainwater cannot easily seep into the ground and runs off, leading to flooding.

In addition

, fewer tree roots are left to hold the topsoil, causing soil erosion.

process affects the land and contributes to the degradation of vegetation. Another consequence is the increased risk of burning, either deliberately or accidentally. Waste wood from logging can be destroyed by fire, which causes microorganisms that feed on

waste to be lost.

Consequently

, pioneer species move in , and the quality of vegetation becomes lower.

Finally

, when forests are cleared, plants return less moisture to the air.

This

results in less precipitation and increased drought. All of these effects together lead to a loss of biodiversity, as many species lose their natural habitats.
