The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) defines nursing diagnosis as a clinical judgment about individual, community or family responses to community to actual or potential health problems or life processes. All types of diagnoses are similar.
Effects. All of these activities contribute to the major deforestation we are seeing now, and this destruction is hugely detrimental to the environment. Drought. One effect of the clearing is drought. The rainforest produces half of its own rainfall as the trees release moisture into the atmosphere. As trees disappear, so does this rain, causing the remaining trees to dry up and die. The drought can also lead to wildfires, which destroy even more of rainforest.
The vast areas of trees have been called the âlungs of the Earth.â The forests âbreatheâ by removing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and giving off oxygen. It is feared that the loss of rain forests will increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere and result in global warming. On a more local level, the clearing of rain forest land diminishes the amount of evaporation. As a result, the rainfall decreases and the ground dries out, reducing its ability to support vegetation.
