Best answer might be "deforestation." Removing forests or wooded areas leaves soil exposed to the elements and thus could be eroded. Trees act kind of as a barrier for floods as well. They reduce runoff and prevent excessive water from reaching rivers and causing floods. And of course, trees are great for absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass/soil. So removing trees would release some of that CO2, causing warming.
