In Bogota the felling of trees has been a serious problem for the integrity of the city. Their causes can be between the felling of the companies that happen to happen the allowed thing, the cattle ranch and the urbanization of the land as also it can be for natural causes as it could be the forest fires or plagues.
The consequences of this are:
Alteration of the water cycle
Trees attract rain and forests are a vital part of the water cycle. For this reason, when forest masses are lost, the behavior of the water in the zone is modified, since it moves to other parts with vegetation.
Desertification
The serious thing, really, is the indiscriminate or uncontrolled cutting, apart from the arson, since without a subsequent reforestation and without an adequate management of the forests, this area will become a desertified area.
Loss of habitat, biodiversity and soil
Deforestation leads to damaging ecosystems, a loss of biodiversity and aridity in the terrain. In addition, the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is avoided, which is why it contributes to climate change. Deforested regions tend to erode the soil and eventually become non-productive land. What leads to no growth of any vegetation, does not serve as a food and shelter for animals or for us to grow food.
Loss of large forest stands
Some places that suffer this problem in a serious way, because one part is controlled but another very large is not, are areas of Latin America, rich in forests and jungles, such as the Amazon area. In this other article we show you the Deforestation of the Amazon, its causes and consequences. Likewise, deforestation in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Peru is very significant, since in several areas of these places there is massive logging for various reasons.
Modification of global climate
When forests and forests are lost, as we have indicated, the water cycle and temperatures in the region and also globally are modified. Therefore, more actions are added that accelerate global warming and climate change.
