Unit The Natural World: Environmental Impacts of Logging

Unit 1: The Natural World This passage discusses the environmental impacts of logging in 3 sentences: Logging or the commercial cutting down of trees can have strong negative effects on the natural world by causing deforestation, which is the removal of all trees from a large area, disrupting habitats and ecosystems and increasing erosion and pollution. Logging reduces vegetation and nutrients in the soil and water, inhibiting new plant growth and threatening aquatic and terrestrial wildlife that depend on forests for food and shelter. Sustainable logging practices aim to minimize environmental damage by stabilizing soils and intercepting runoff.
