    Deforestation causes problems like climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, and increased greenhouse gases. It destroys vital ecosystems that support both wildlife and humans. The leading causes of deforestation are urbanization, desertification, mining, forest fires, and paper production. Bush encroachment is thought to negatively impact soil water and groundwater, though more scientific evidence is still needed, and its major causes are exclusion of fires, overgrazing, and poor land management practices.

    What are 10 effects of deforestation?

    The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change,
    desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased
    greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for
    Indigenous people.

    What is the most harmful effect of deforestation?


    As companies cut down more and more of our forests to make room for
    agriculture and industry, the whole planet suffers the consequences.
    Deforestation threatens our environment, impacts human lives, and kills
    millions of animals every year. Deforestation destroys ecosystems that
    are vital to wildlife and humans alike.

    What are the effects of bush encroachment?
    The general opinion is that bush encroachment impacts negatively on
    soil water hydrology and on groundwater recharge. However, there
    is a lack of scientific evidence on the topic.

    The exclusion of occasional hot veld fires, the replacement of most of


    the indigenous browsers and grazers by livestock, injudicious stocking
    rates, poor rangeland management practices, and artificial water points
    are regarded as the major causes of bush encroachment.
