Environment & Ecology · Hydrological Cycle & Deforestation
Deforestation significantly disrupts the natural mechanics of the Hydrological Cycle by:
- 1Elevating global moisture levels through continuous evaporation from newly exposed topsoil
- 2Enhancing the rate of condensation to form denser cloud covers over urbanized regions
- 3Reducing transpiration from plants and simultaneously increasing surface water runoff✓
- 4Accelerating the formation of groundwater reserves through rapid soil infiltration
