When trees are being cut down this will cause an increase in the carbon levels in the atmosphere. If there is an increase in the levels of carbon in the atmosphere, it will increase greenhouse gasses and global warming. 2 Carbon cycle Species populations When there is less carbon in the carbon cycle it will affect primary consumers by not allowing them to get enough carbon. With fewer primary consumers, secondary consumers will have a harder time trying to survive and find the food they need. Animals need food to survive and if they don't get enough food they will perish. 3 Deforestation Photosynthesis When there are fewer trees, the process of photosynthesis won't be able to happen as regularly as it would. Trees will take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in the atmosphere. Humans and other organisms need oxygen to survive by doing respiration, and with less oxygen it will be harder to breath. 4 Photosynthesis Health The oxygen photosynthesis makes is essential for living organisms, including humans. With poor air quality, it can cause respiratory problems, asthma, and other health issues. This is why we need to keep trees so they can produce oxygen for us to survive.
