Deforestation is an issue caused by the continued development of modern society by way of ever-increasing space and resource demands. Deforestation is especially dangerous to the carbon cycle as trees are vital to the process of through the absorption of carbon dioxide and other gasses. A single, average-sized tree can produce a day's oxygen for four people (Evans 2001). Deforestation is dangerous for the environment for many more reasons, including increased unnatural soil and land erosion, excess amounts of ash (through forest burning), and effects on the hydrologic cycle.
In order to reduce deforestation's harm on the environment, we must protect as many areas as possible, preventing unnecessary development from getting out of control. There are likely many opportunities for technological advancement in the forest removal process to help with the issues of deforestation.
It is important that excessive tree and forest removal be prevented in the interest of preserving our biosphere.
