    Deforestation is the removal of a forest where the land is converted to a non-forest use. Trees extract groundwater through their roots and release it into the atmosphere. Trees no longer transpire this water, resulting in a much drier climate.

    Deforestation----------- clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest where the land is converted to a non-forest use.

    Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use.

    IMPACT The water cycle is also affected by deforestation. Trees extract groundwater through their roots and release it into the atmosphere. When part of a forest is removed, the trees no longer transpire this water, resulting in a much drier climate. Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. The dry soil leads to lower water intake for the trees to extract.[46] Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion, flooding and landslides occur.
