Final answer:

Deforestation decreases carbon storage in trees, releasing carbon back into the atmosphere.


Explanation:

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that use carbon dioxide and store carbon in plant fibers. The burning of wood or carbon-based energy sources such as oil or coal releases the carbon back into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels are created when dead plant and animal life have been under pressure and decay for long periods and have retained their carbon component.
