To Study The, Impact On, “Deforestation & It's Effects on Climate Change"
Keywords:
Deforestation, Climate Change, Carbon Cycle, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Biodiversity Loss, Sustainable Forest ManagementAbstract
Deforestation, the large-scale removal of forest cover for agriculture, urban development, and industrial purposes, has emerged as a critical environmental issue with profound implications for global climate systems. This study explores the multifaceted impact of deforestation on climate change, emphasizing the disruption of carbon cycles, increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and alteration of local and global weather patterns. Forests act as vital carbon sinks, absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) and mitigating climate change. However, when trees are cut down and often burned, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, significantly contributing to global warming. The study also examines the role of deforestation in reducing biodiversity, disturbing hydrological cycles, and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events. Through an analysis of current data and trends, this research highlights the urgent need for sustainable forest management and reforestation initiatives. Ultimately, the study aims to raise awareness and inform policy decisions that can help curb deforestation and mitigate its impact on climate change.
