Deforestation has also been used in war to deprive an enemy of cover for its forces and also vital resources.

Deforestation also creates open meadow areas which are its preferred habitat.

International policy has also introduced a market incentive program called Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation ( REDD ) for companies and governments to outset their carbon emissions through financial investments into rainforest conservation.

To ensure that forests are high on the national political agenda and become an integral part in national development plans, CIFOR has also actively engaged in consultations with other ministries such as the Ministry of Finance, the National Development Planning Agency ( Bappenas ), the Coordinating Ministry of Economy, and the Ministry of Research and Technology, as well as providing major references for the President office ’ s climate change unit in developing policy related to forests, climate change, and REDD ( Reducing Emissions from ( avoided ) Deforestation and Forest Degradation ).

As deforestation contributes to global warming, Greenpeace has demanded that REDD ( Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation ) should be included in the climate treaty following the Kyoto treaty.

# Ensure Environmental Sustainability: Deforestation remains a critical problem, particularly in regions of biological diversity, which continues to decline.

; Deforestation ( data structure fusion ): Because of the high level nature by which data structures are specified in functional languages such as Haskell, it is possible to combine several recursive functions which produce and consume some temporary data structure so that the data is passed directly without wasting time constructing the data structure.

Deforestation has occurred for two reasons: ( a ) the storms, which have uprooted whole forests ; and, ( b ) the timber industry's limitless destruction of primeval forests all over the world, including the tropical rainforest.

Deforestation causes erosion, which releases a large amount of carbon stored in the soil, which then flows into the ocean, contributing to ocean acidification.

Deforestation and subsequent erosion, and overgrazing by sheep and goats, for whose benefit the scrub was periodically burnt over, impoverished the fauna and depopulated the islands, which were purchased by citizens of Murter during the late 19th century.

Deforestation increased the rate of silt deposits and the lake became a malarial marsh, of which the last remnants were drained in the nineteenth century.

Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture.

Deforestation and urban development along the river banks, combined with the extensive amount of rainfall in the region, have led to some climate change issues, primarily manifested in recent severe flooding within the province and elsewhere downstream of the Nan River.

Deforestation has been extensive and in some cases, like the northern Andes, 90-95 % of forests have been cleared.

: Deforestation ( overuse of wood for fuel and lack of alternatives ); contaminated water ( with human and animal wastes, agricultural runoff, and industrial effluents ); wildlife conservation ; vehicular emissions ; High arsenic and microbiological levels in groundwater

The last batch of sawnwood from the Peat swamp forest | peat forest in Indragiri Hulu, Sumatra, Deforestation in Indonesia | Indonesia.

But recent calculations suggest that carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation and forest degradation ( excluding peatland emissions ) contribute about 12 % of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions with a range from 6 to 17 %.< ref > Deforestation causes carbon dioxide to linger in the atmosphere.

Deforestation generally increases rates of soil erosion, by increasing the amount of runoff and reducing the protection of the soil from tree litter.

Deforestation causes increased erosion rates due to exposure of mineral soil by removing the humus and litter layers from the soil surface, removing the vegetative cover that binds soil together, and causing heavy soil compaction from logging equipment.

Deforestation resulting from logging is especially rampant in Olancho Department.

Deforestation, overgrazed pastures, and, less recently, efforts to increase grain and hay production by plowing up more virgin land have increased soil erosion from wind and rain.

Deforestation and grazing mean that the soils suffer from aggressive erosion in many locations.

Deforestation ; land degradation ; water pollution from agricultural runoff, sewage, industrial wastes ; siltation of spawning grounds endangers fish populations

Organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank have started to create programs like Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation ( REDD ) that works especially with developing countries to use subsidies or other incentives to encourage citizens to use the forest in a more sustainable way.

Over four years, CIFOR and its partner organisations are undertaking a major global comparative study on the implementation of pilot REDD + ( Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation ) projects around the world.

Deforestation from logging, mining, uncontrolled fires, agriculture, urban development and tourism all increase pressure on these fragile ecosystems by destroying vital habitat.

Deforestation is the clearing of natural forests by logging or burning of trees and plants in a forested area.

Deforestation of river banks of the Mississippi and tributaries to fuel the hundreds of steamboats that plied the river had several significant environmental effects: destabilizing the banks, causing the Mississippi to become wider and more shallow, causing more severe flooding and leading to lateral channel changes in the American Bottoms area.

Deforestation, effects on soil structure, root structure, turbidity of water, allocation of water and the supply of water downstream are just a handful of exemplars defining beaver niche construction.

Deforestation of the river banks in the 19th century to fuel steamboats had dramatic environmental effects in this region, leading to the Mississippi River between St. Louis and the confluence with the Ohio River becoming more wide and shallow, as unstable banks collapsed into the water.

Deforestation is a devastating process, with more than 8, 100 ha of forest being lost annually.

Deforestation, clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a nonforest use.

Deforestation occurs for many reasons: trees are cut down to be used or sold as fuel ( sometimes in the form of charcoal ) or timber, while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock, plantations of commodities, and settlements.

Deforestation is ongoing and is shaping climate and geography.

Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Deforestation is driven by multiple processes.

Deforestation is exceedingly widespread.

Deforestation is a real problem as timber is cut for export.

Deforestation is another major concern on the islands.

Deforestation is an especially serious and growing problem.

Deforestation is often cited as a cause of global warming.

Deforestation is the foremost threat for both Neofelis species.

Deforestation is thus a potential threat to the species.

Deforestation is one of the leading causes of decline in the species.

Deforestation is reducing the number of these parrots in the wild together with illegal removal of young for the pet trade.
