Deforestation Decreases Rainfall

Anyone who understands hydrology cycles knows that forest and plant cover, along with associative transpiration, is critical in the formation of long term climate stability in both medium and large scale precipitation patterns.  Deforestation and modern agriculture have decreased transpiration and soil drought resilience to the point that desertification is affecting large swaths of territory.  Feedback loops further exacerbate the ever increasing problem.
