The 160 pages that link to Deforestation, each with the reason it gives.

• ForestryCompared with: It marks the loss forestry seeks to avoid when sustaining forest cover.

• Montane forestRelated: Clearing for agriculture and timber reduces montane forest area and connectivity.

• TreeCompared with: Removing trees can transform habitats, carbon storage, and local water cycles.

• ForestCompared with: It removes forest cover rather than managing a continuing tree-dominated ecosystem.

• Land grabbingRelated: Agricultural and extractive concessions can drive forest clearance and fragment habitats.

• Landsat programRelated: Repeated Landsat observations document forest loss and fragmentation.

• Temperate deciduous forestRelated: Clearing has greatly reduced and altered temperate forests in many regions.

• Vegetable oilRelated: Expansion of some oil-crop plantations has contributed to forest loss.

• Forest carbon cycleRelated: It removes forest carbon stocks and often releases carbon through burning or decay.

• Land coverBroader topic: Forest-to-nonforest transitions are among the most consequential land-cover changes.

• MilpaRelated: Where fallow recovery is curtailed, shifting milpa cultivation can contribute to forest loss.

• Primate conservationRelated: Forest loss removes habitat and fragments the landscapes many primates need.

• Satellite imageryBroader topic: Forest-loss monitoring is a prominent use of repeated satellite observations.

• Cash cropRelated: Expansion of some cash crops drives forest conversion and habitat loss.

• Habitat destructionBroader topic: Forest clearing directly removes habitat and can leave surviving forest in isolated patches.

• Iron smeltingRelated: Charcoal-intensive iron production could consume large areas of woodland.

• Soybean oilRelated: Expansion of soybean cultivation has contributed to forest loss in parts of South America.

• Beef productionRelated: In some regions, expanding cattle pasture is a driver of forest loss.

• Bos taurusRelated: Expansion of cattle pasture is a major driver of forest loss in some regions.

• Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forestsRelated: Forest clearance for agriculture, settlements, and infrastructure has reduced and fragmented habitat.

• Illegal loggingRelated: Illegal logging can contribute to forest loss, although not all logging causes deforestation.

• Resource depletionBroader topic: Forest loss makes depletion visible through changes in land cover and timber stocks.

• Tropical agricultureRelated: Clearing forests for crops and grazing is a major pathway of tropical land conversion.

• Biomass burningCompared with: Burning can clear forests, but biomass burning also occurs without permanent land conversion.

• Forest conservationCompared with: It is the direct forest-cover loss conservation efforts seek to prevent.

• GibbonRelated: Forest loss fragments the connected canopy gibbons need for travel and survival.

• Livestock farmingRelated: Pasture expansion and feed production can drive forest clearing.

• Miombo woodlandRelated: Agriculture, fuelwood harvesting, and settlement expansion clear miombo in many areas.

• OkapiRelated: Forest loss fragments the okapi’s limited habitat and reduces access to food and cover.

• Plant conservationRelated: Forest clearance destroys habitat and can sharply reduce plant populations.

• Plantation agricultureRelated: Plantation expansion can replace forests with crop estates, especially in tropical regions.

• Sediment pollutionRelated: Removing vegetation can expose soil to erosion and increase sediment runoff.

• TropicsRelated: Forest loss in the tropics releases stored carbon and fragments highly diverse habitats.

• BiomassRelated: Forest clearing removes substantial living biomass and can release stored carbon.

• Climate change and forestsCompared with: It is a direct human pressure that differs from climate-driven forest change.

• GreenpeaceRelated: Greenpeace investigates forest loss and campaigns against supply chains linked to it.

• Gutta-perchaRelated: Demand for gutta-percha contributed to destructive forest extraction in its native region.

• Hevea brasiliensisRelated: Rubber expansion can replace forests and alter tropical habitats.

• RainforestCompared with: It is the main direct transformation threatening rainforest extent and continuity.

• SilvicultureCompared with: Silviculture manages forest development; deforestation removes forest cover for land conversion.

• Benue RiverRelated: Land-cover loss in parts of the basin can alter runoff and sediment reaching the river.

• BinturongRelated: Forest loss removes the trees and connected habitat binturongs depend on.

• Chemical feedstockRelated: Demand for crop-based feedstocks can contribute to land conversion and forest loss.

• CowRelated: Expansion of cattle pasture is a major driver of forest clearing in some regions.

• Human impact on the environmentBroader topic: Forest conversion removes habitat and releases stored carbon.

• Leafcutter antCompared with: Leafcutter damage can defoliate plants locally, but it is distinct from forest-wide land conversion.

• Natural resourceRelated: Clearing forests for timber, farming, or infrastructure reduces forest resources and habitat.

• Palm kernel oilRelated: Expansion of oil-palm cultivation has been associated with forest loss in some regions.

• Sudanian SavannaRelated: Fuelwood collection and agricultural expansion reduce tree cover in parts of the belt.

• Temperate broadleaf and mixed forestsRelated: Agriculture and settlement have greatly reduced temperate forests in many regions.
