The correct answers are:

- Destruction of ecosystems: Deforestation of arable land can lead to the destruction of ecosystems, as it disrupts the balance of flora and fauna in the area and can contribute to habitat loss and species extinction.

- Flooding of populated areas: Deforestation can increase the risk of flooding as trees help absorb rainfall and their removal reduces the ability of the land to hold water. This can lead to an increased likelihood of flooding in populated areas.
