The significant impact of deforestation on the Earth's atmosphere includes increased levels of carbon dioxide, leading to global warming and climate change. Trees and forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, thus regulating atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. When forests are cleared, not only is this carbon storage capacity lost, but the process of burning or decomposing trees releases stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Deforestation also diminishes biodiversity, disrupts ecosystems, and can lead to soil erosion. Collectively, these impacts pose substantial threats to ecological balance and contribute to environmental degradation.
