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 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 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 ( 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

Deforestation in the vicinity of the lake has had many negative impacts, including loss of forest birds, extinction of native salmon, and increased amounts of sediment flowing into the lake.

Deforestation continued to the more remote areas as a warmer climate allowed the cultivation even of upland areas. alt = Map of Wales showing the names of Celtic British tribes in their territoriesBy 4000 BP people had begun to bury, or cremate their dead in individual cists, beneath a mound of earth known as a round barrow ; sometimes with a distinctive style of finely decorated pottery – like those at Llanharry ( discovered 1929 ) and at Llandaff ( 1991 ) – that gave rise to the Early Bronze Age being described as Beaker culture.

Deforestation has led to climate change and has had an environmental impact, with drought becoming more frequent and temperatures becoming warmer.

; 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 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, burn-offs of timber and scrub and large scale drainage combined with overgrazing, resulted in considerable environmental degradation.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Deforestation can inhibit the spread of red pandas and exacerbate the natural population subdivision by topography and ecology, leading to severe fragmentation of the remaining wild population.

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

Deforestation of the inland Manawatu District in the late nineteenth century meant increased flooding and led to the creation of stopbanks, floodgates, and the Whirokino Cut.

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

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

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

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 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 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 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 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.

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

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.
