Deforestation
The large-scale destruction of trees in forests which eventually damage the quality of land and soil in the area. Forest trees are cut down usually to make way for agriculture, for logging or to make way for roads and urban sprawl.
Deforestation- Type of "forestry practice" which involves the permanent removal of forests and their undergrowth so that the land can serve another purpose.
deforestation: Deforestation is when trees are stripped from the forest.
Deforestation also contributes to global warming. Trees use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in its place, which helps to create the optimal balance of gases in the atmosphere.
Deforestation. The change of forested lands to non-forest uses. This is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect for two reasons: 1) trees that are burned release carbon dioxide; and, 2) trees that are cut no ...

Deforestation: The felling of trees, usually for commercial purposes.
Desertification: Land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities.
Deforestation - Process by which forested areas are cut down, usually to make room for agricultural development or settlement.
deforestation: destruction of forests from logging, land clearing for agricultural and pastural land, mining, oil exploration, urban development and so forth.

Deforestation:the removal of all or most of the trees from a region. Dendrite:a starry-shaped snowflake that has accumulated moisture and developed feathery branches on its arms.
The secular trend reflects the increase in global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations produced by combustion of fossil fuels, kilning of limestone, and possibly a net biospheric release of carbon dioxide resulting from deforestation.

In the UK 50% of emissions come from private cars with fossil-fuel power stations making up most of the remainder. In the developing world it is estimated that four billion tonnes of carbon are released into the atmosphere from deforestation by ...
About three-quarters of the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere during the past 20 years is due to fossil fuel burning. The rest is predominantly due to land-use change, especially deforestation [14].
