Which consequence occurs when significant deforestation disrupts soil ecosystems?

💡 Explanation

Deforestation disrupts the nitrogen production due to fewer nitrogen-fixing bacteria because plant roots no longer support symbiotic relationships and these decaying organisms mineralize nitrogen releasing it to the soil; therefore nitrogen available decreases because other nutrients are not limiting, rather than plants using more nutrients.
