Relationship between poor soil and deforestation in Sub-Saharan Africa:

Due to deforestation, the nutrients in soil will be drained specially if the land is used for farming. If there is no practices of farming, the soil will be blown away due to wind which leave with barren land like desertification. After the soil erosion, during deforestation the soil becomes poor and unprotected.

As the deforestation concept is very clear of cutting down trees in forest and rain-forest. Most often deforestation takes place due to commercial purposes for constructing building for the habitat of people which leads to the extinction of animals and plants.
