Biodiversity: Deforestation 🌳 GCSE Biology Learning & Revision

REVISE GCSE Biology - A podcast by Seneca Learning

In this episode, we discuss deforestation.

Deforestation, the clearing of forests for purposes like agriculture and biofuel production, has significant environmental repercussions.

One key impact is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to burning trees and reduced photosynthesis.

Habitat destruction is another consequence, leading to biodiversity loss and disrupting vital ecosystem services like erosion control.

Moreover, land conversion for activities such as rice farming and cattle ranching contributes to methane emissions, further exacerbating greenhouse gas effects.

Ultimately, deforestation endangers countless animal habitats.
