Trees cut down result in;

1.
Soil exposed to sun.dries/blown away
with slight air
2.
Moisture loss/less transpiration/less
clouds/less rain/soil loses/easily eroded with
slight rain/air
3.
Roots die down/nothing to hold soil/soil
loses
4.
Tree leaves/canopies reduce direct rain
splashes to earth/no trees mean direct
splashes erode away more soil
5.
Soil leeching/piping/choking/result of
loose roots with dead firs
6.
Shrubs growth underneath trees reduces
as a result of deforestation/less soil held
7.
Less humus to hold soil intact
8.
