Learn about historical and modern deforestation and its effects. Jan 23, Effects of Acid Rain. After studying the Hubbard Brook Forest and other areas, researchers found several important effects of acid deposition on both natural and man-made environments. Aquatic settings are the most clearly affected by acid deposition, however, because acidic precipitation falls directly into them. In India, we have this practice in North-east and to some extend in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and M.P.

which contribute to nearly half of the forest clearing annually. 2. Commercial logging: (Which supplies the world market with woods such as meranti, teak, mahogany and ebony) destroys trees as well as opening up forest for agriculture.
