Answer:
Deforestation affects carbon cycle through the Greenhouse gas effect and global warming. Green plants, trees and forest helps to balance the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is used up by plant through the process of photosynthesis in which plants make their own food. When there is excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of deforestation ‘blanket’ of carbon dioxide is formed which traps heat and prevents it from leaving the earth surface in the atmosphere. This accumulated heat leads to global warming in the environment. More trees should be planted to prevent rise in atmospheric a carbon and deforestation should be prevented.
