Deforestation significantly contributes to carbon emissions by releasing stored carbon dioxide (CO2) from trees into the atmosphere. Trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 during photosynthesis. When they are cut down, burned, or decay, this carbon is released, intensifying climate change. Furthermore, reduced forested areas lead to diminished capacity for carbon absorption, creating a feedback loop that exacerbates global warming. Therefore, the relationship between deforestation and carbon emissions is central to discussions on climate policy and environmental management.
