The local effect of deforestation is ...
the area becomes drier
The soil becomes drier
The area become warmer
There is less carbon intake
Only tick off the cooling effects of deforestation
Deforestation makes the soil dry and the dry soil has a larger albedo effect than trees
cropland and grass (which replace the trees after deforestation) have a larger albedo than trees
Black soil (which happens after slash and burn) has a lower albedo than trees
grass and cropland (which replace trees after deforestation) have a lower evapotranspiration than trees

"nutrients in the soil"
and
"density of the canopy"
a positive one
a negative one
somewhere in between
there is no feedback mechanism between those two
What kind of feedback mechanism exists between
"interception of rain"
and
"soil erosion"
a positive one
a negative one
somewhere in between
there is no feedback mechanism between those two
