Once the soil get sunlight, it is baked hard. This impairs the ability of the soil to  soak the water.  Thus, resulting in water run-off whenever there are rains, and causing flooding. 

Besides this, cutting the trees deprives the soil of roots that eventually leads to soil erosion. Not only this, this also raises the risk of forest fires, which  causes waste wood to burn along.  This can eliminate microorganisms endemic to the area. As fresh pioneer species set in, local vegetation degrades. Furthermore ,   as plants return back lesser moisture to air, it decreases rains. Hence, causing drought.
