How would the carbon cycle be affected by cutting down the earths huge rainforest

Deforestation has an effect on the Carbon Cycle also known as the Greenhouse gas effect and global warming. Trees and forest balance the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis in which plants make their own food with carbon dioxide. ... This excess heat warms the earth. The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people. Deforestation can affect the water cycle and the carbon cycle. It will decrease the amount of transpiration. It will also increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by releasing the carbon dioxide as trees are burned and by decreasing photosynthesis.
