Which outcome results following significant deforestation affecting a terrestrial ecosystem?

💡 Explanation

Deforestation diminishes nitrogen fixation because leguminous trees host nitrogen-fixing bacteria for converting atmospheric nitrogen. Therefore, nitrogen availability drops, consequently lowering the ecosystem's productivity; rather than increased soil fertility through other mechanisms that require plant cover.
