Answer:

fragmentation of habitat, soil erosion, soil compaction, and increased input of sediment into waterways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduced vegetation on earth will result in more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because the plants will not absorb the rest.

The effects of plant removal on soil biota were similar to that in the dry season. For both seasons, understory removal had no significant effects on soil Physico-chemical properties (soil water content, pH, total nitrogen, and soil organic carbon) but the removal of all plants significantly decreased soil pH.

Expansive changes in tundra and boreal vegetation can have significant implications for physical and ecological processes, as well as impacts on communities. Vegetation change that alters land surface darkness influences albedo and surface energy balance.

Consequently, reduced vegetation cover and soil wetness and associated land degradation and soil erosion may have increased albedo and decreased emissivity over the Sahel.
