What will happen to the soil? Starter: Why is deforestation such a concern regarding the carbon cycle in the rainforest? What will happen to the litter and nutrient stores of the rainforest after deforestation? What will happen to the soil? Why is this a problem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wju2_1lqI

Human factors affecting stores and flows of carbon 1) What is the impact on the above ground biomass carbon store caused by deforestation? 2) How does the biomass store compare to other land uses that takes its place? 3) What impact does this have on the carbon store and flow below ground? 4) What are the impacts of deforestation on the nutrient store of the soil? 5) What is the overall impact on the carbon cycle regarding absorption and production.
