Once we loose forested land,rate of soil erosion balloons at an extraordinary pace of 90 tons per hectare compared to forested land that was found at 0.3 tons per hectare per annum even steep slopes.Deforestation also forces emigration into another region and the vicious cycle continues.He gave an instance of the repression of Duvalier regime and the deforestation of Haiti as main catalysts for the emigration of a million Haitians,to abode in the Southeastern United States. Heavily logged regions and devastated western forests like Pacific Northwest,Alaska and Germany's highly cherished Black forest,and the American forest land with more forest land than a century ago,has certainly loose its originality,heavily harvested and replanted where the softwood monoculture connifer forests,transformed from dense hardwood barely support the original species that first thrived in the woods.The problem gets exacerbated by desertification,that is expanding desert,soil erosion,degradation,wetlands and drylands'plunder.
