Deforestation reduces rainfall because trees play a crucial role in the water cycle through transpiration - releasing water vapor that forms clouds. Without forests, this moisture recycling is disrupted, leading to reduced precipitation in the region. Deforestation actually increases soil erosion and reduces soil fertility.
