Once the mountainsides are denuded, erosion begins. The land can no longer hold water. Soil fertility drops without the replenishing nutrients from trees. Rivers swing from one seasonal extreme to another, sending flood waters surging off the mountains in the rainy season and causing long periods of drought in summer.
