Pluto is truly a well-trained dog. Like his master Mickey, he can get into a large amount of trouble but has enough brains to escape the situation. He acts as Mickey's sidekick, best friend, conscience in some occasions, and pet.
Deforestation causes some of the worst soil erosion. Forests keep soil where it is. The root structures of trees and other plants hold it in place, the natural mulch of leaves prevents soil from being exposed to the erosive forces of wind and rain. The canopy helps soften the impact of heavy rains.
Quick Answer. The World Wildlife Fund lists reduced biodiversity, increased greenhouse gas emissions, disruptions in the water cycle and increased erosion as the primary effects of deforestation. Millions of people directly rely on forests for subsistence and the loss of forests poses a risk to their lifestyles.
