Question

Deforestation has a large impact on the Carbon cycle because once the trees are cut down, they are not only not taking CO2 out of the air, but they are releasing the carbon stored in their bodies by way of decomposition.

True or False

Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

Trees are responsible for stabilizing carbondioxide concentration in the environment because carbondioxide is used by the plants in the process of photosynthesis. So when we cut down trees, the carbon which is present inside the body of plants also emitted in the form of carbondioxide by the process of decomposition. Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi etc are responsible for the release of carbondioxide.
