History

Which effect arises when ancient terrace farms experience deforestation?

A)Increased topsoil erosion downslope
B)Decreased crop photosynthesis rates
C)Accelerated nitrogen fixation in soil
D)Enhanced water retention by terraces

Deforestation increases erosion because the binding action of tree roots is lost; leading to increased water runoff. The mechanism of action is slope destabilization therefore the outcome is increased erosion, rather than nutrient alteration or water managment.
