Which atmospheric effect is amplified when deforestation reduces evapotranspiration in tropical rainforests?

💡 Explanation

When deforestation reduces evapotranspiration, radiative forcing increases because less water evaporates to absorb heat, leading to higher surface albedo and increased absorption locally. Therefore local temperature increases resulting in regional climate alterations, rather than carbon effects, ocean changes, or impacts to the stratosphere.
