Question

Explain how the destruction of forests affects atmospheric levels of carbon.
in small paragraph

Answer 1

When forests are destroyed, the carbon stored in trees and soils is released into the atmosphere as CO2 and other greenhouse gases through burning and decomposition, while the loss of trees also reduces the land’s ability to absorb CO2 by photosynthesis. Together these effects raise atmospheric carbon levels, strengthen the greenhouse effect, and can trigger feedbacks (drier soils, more fires) that cause further carbon release and accelerate climate change.
