that will occur

• A. Energy crisis will commence
• B. Many species would become extinct
• C. The remaining forest will correct the imbalance

Answer 1

The correct option is D Population, pollution and ecological imbalance will rise

Consequences of deforestation

• On removing forest cover, the producers in the food chain would be removed. Producers are the first organisms in the food chain on which all other living beings are dependent.
• If there are no producers then it will finally lead to an imbalance ecosystem.
• Eventually, it will affect the population density and pollution would also rise because of fewer trees.
• It will affect biodiversity, as they are home to many species.
• It will also affect the gross primary productivity of the earth's biosphere.
