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 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 resulting from logging is especially rampant in Olancho Department.

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 ( 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 is an especially serious and growing problem.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ).

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.

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

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

Deforestation, particularly in Brazil, Indonesia and parts of Africa, account for about 20 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions.

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

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

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

Deforestation for oil palm plantation.

Deforestation may cause carbon stores held in soil to be released.

Deforestation in Borneo | Fires on Borneo and Sumatra, 2006.

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 for the use of clay in the Deforestation in Brazil | Brazil ian city of Rio de Janeiro.

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

Deforestation on a human scale results in decline in biodiversity.
