deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest | Deforestation and increased road-building in the Amazon Rainforest are a significant concern because of increased human encroachment upon wild areas, increased resource extraction and further threats to biodiversity.

Deforestation on a human scale results in decline in biodiversity.

Deforestation causes erosion in the hills, in turn causing alluvial buildup down on the Gangetic Plain that interferes with flood control structures.

Deforestation is another major concern on the islands.

Deforestation has been particularly severe in Lebanon and on Cyprus ; on Cyprus, only small trees up to tall survive, though Pliny the Elder recorded cedars tall there.

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 has an effect on the lives of Dadaab's residents.

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 ).

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.

* Rainforest Deforestation: The fertile tropical forests turn into infertile desert land.

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

Deforestation causes extinction, changes to climatic conditions, desertification, and displacement of populations as observed by current conditions and in the past through the fossil record.

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.

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 may cause carbon stores held in soil to be released.

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

Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion, flooding and landslides ensue.

Deforestation also contributes to decreased evapotranspiration, which lessens atmospheric moisture which in some cases affects precipitation levels downwind from the deforested area, as water is not recycled to downwind forests, but is lost in runoff and returns directly to the oceans.

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

Deforestation of Brazil's Atlantic Forest c. 1820-1825

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.

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.

Deforestation resulting from logging is especially rampant in Olancho Department.

Deforestation and the destruction of peatlands make Indonesia the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
