Question

What will happen? If we go on cutting trees.
A) Biodiversity of many areas will destroyed
B) Biodiversity of many areas will severely affected
C) Both A and B
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Cutting of trees causes many environmental issues, harms diversity of plants and animals, affects the ecosystem, involves in increasing natural disasters, and also increases the pollution rate.

Complete answer:
The cutting down of large numbers of trees at a time is termed as deforestation. Deforestation has many effects on the environment and most importantly it affects biodiversity directly. The animals that live in trees lose their homes and have to relocate. The result of this is the animals get extinct. The deforestation also affects the water cycle the result of which the rainfall decreases in that place and many aquatic animals get affected because of this. Decrease in rainfall may also affect the small herbs and many flowering plants that result in their extinction. The cutting of trees causes natural disasters like floods during heavy rainfall, they can also cause soil erosion as in the presence of trees the rate of water transpiration is very high and binds the soil to sloping land with the help of roots this reduces the erosion rate. Another effect of deforestation is, it causes global warming. The trees are involved in producing oxygen and also involved in the bioremediation process that help to reduce the pollution rate caused by many harmful gases.
Now let us find the solution from the given options-
The biodiversity of many areas will be destroyed and get severely affected because of deforestation. Many tree species lose their habitats due to cutting down of trees and get affected and many aquatic animals lose their lives because of the decrease in rainfall.

Thus, the right answer is option C. i.e., Both A and B.

Note: Deforestation can cause the increase in the pollution level of the air that increases the effect on many animals and plant habitats. This also increases the effect of soil erosion that affect many microorganisms involved in stabilization of soil fertility and nitrogen fixation process, etc.
