Effects of Deforestation on Runoff and Erosion.

Illustration showing a forested area with minimal runoff and erosion on the left and a deforested area with increased runoff, erosion, and sediment load on the right.

This two-part illustration demonstrates the impact of deforestation on runoff and soil erosion, making it ideal for environmental science and geography textbooks. The diagrams help students understand how the removal of vegetation increases sediment load and alters natural water flow in a watershed, emphasizing the importance of forest ecosystems in controlling erosion.

We can provide sample images or create custom illustrations tailored to your projects. If you are looking for an illustration of this type, or from another subject area, you can contact us to discuss your needs.
