Deforestation affects climate change on a large scale as discussed in the sections above; however climate change is not the only negative consequence of deforestation There are many other ways in which deforestation has negative impacts to the environment Water Cycles Trees undergo a natural process called “transpiration ”
Deforestation is primarily a concern for the de veloping countries of the tropics (Myers 1994) as it is shrinking areas of the tropical forests (Barraclough and Ghimire 2000) causing loss of biodiversity and enhancing the greenhouse effect (Angelsen et al 1999)
An international team of researchers has attempted to assess the impactof both deforestation and afforestation on the global water cycle In theirpaper published in the journal Nature Geoscience
National and international efforts to reduce deforestation in the last few decades while having some impact have failed to substantially slow the loss of the world’s tropical forests Tropical deforestation is widespread and accounts for 12 –17 of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions New global
Why is deforestation a problem?
Deforestation is primarily a concern for the de veloping countries of the tropics (Myers, 1994) as it is shrinking areas of the tropical forests (Barraclough and Ghimire, 2000) causing loss of biodiversity and enhancing the greenhouse effect (Angelsen et al., 1999).
How is deforestation affecting the climate of Ethiopia?
Deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography of Ethiopia. Deforestation is a contributor to global climate change, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect . Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions.
Can we reduce emissions from tropical deforestation and forest degradation?
Reducing emissions from the tropical deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in developing countries has emerged as new potential to complement ongoing climate policies. The idea consists in providing financial compensations for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from deforestation and forest degradation .
How does deforestation affect flood risk?
Deforestation increases flooding mainly for two reasons. First, with a smaller tree fountain effect, soils are more likely to be fully saturated with water. The sponge fills up earlier in wet season, causing additional precipitation to run off and increasing flood risk.
