Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forested ones.
One of the major effects of deforestation is enhanced carbon dioxide
concentration in the atmosphere because trees that could hold a lot of
carbon in their biomass are lost with deforestation. Deforestation also
causes loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction, disturbs
hydrological cycle, causes soil erosion and may lead to desertification
in extreme cases.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
