One likely direct negative result of deforestation is landslides. Trees help with soil stability and water retention, and when they are removed, it can lead to soil erosion and instability, especially in mountainous areas. Deforestation can also lead to a loss of biodiversity, contribute to climate change, and decrease the availability of oxygen.
