Question

question 2
which of the following is not an impact of deforestation?
the deforestation of tropical rainforests has led to discoveries of new species.
trees that are burned release carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming.
the loss of forests affects the rainfall, humidity, and temperature in nearby areas.
deforested lands are often so degraded that they can sustain very little life.

Explanation:

Deforestation is generally harmful. Burning trees releases CO₂ contributing to global - warming. Loss of forests impacts local climate (rainfall, humidity, temperature). Deforested lands are often degraded. Discoveries of new species are not an impact of deforestation but rather in spite of it.

Answer:

The deforestation of tropical rainforests has led to discoveries of new species.
