Answer

If we go on cutting trees, rainfall and the fertility of the soil will decrease. Moreover, there will be increased chances of natural calamities such as floods and droughts. Global warming will increase with increase in carbon dioxide. Deforestation will lead to desertification of the land. Deforestation also leads to a decrease in the water holding capacity of the soil. The movement of water from the soil surface into the ground (infiltration rate) is reduced. The other properties of the soil like nutrient content, texture etc., also change due to cutting of trees.
