i like how you tried to find an article that best discribed desforestation.

Converting forest to arable land is a more recent cause of deforestation. Another reason of deforestation is  The land required to provide the global demand for meat is enormous.

the cause of cutting trees  is  Deforestation occurs for a number of reasons, including farming, with 80% of deforestation resulting from extensive cattle ranching, and logging for materials and development.

Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land. Throughout history and into modern times, forests have been razed to make space for agriculture and animal grazing, and to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction.

Deforestation has greatly altered landscapes around the world. About 2,000 years ago, 80 percent of Western Europe was forested; today the figure is 34 percent. In North America, about half of the forests in the eastern part of the continent were cut down from the 1600s to the 1870s for timber and agriculture. China has lost great expanses of its forests over the past 4,000 years and now just over 20 percent of it is forested. Much of Earth's farmland was once forests.

Today, the greatest amount of deforestation is occurring in tropical rainforests, aided by extensive road construction into regions that were once almost inaccessible. Building or upgrading roads into forests makes them more accessible for exploitation. Slash-and-burn agriculture is a big contributor to deforestation in the tropics. With this agricultural method, farmers burn large swaths of forest, allowing the ash to fertilize the land for crops. The land is only fertile for a few years, however, after which the farmers move on to repeat the process elsewhere. Tropical forests are also cleared to make way for logging, cattle ranching, and oil palm and rubber tree plantations.

Deforestation can result in more carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. That is because trees take in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis, and carbon is locked chemically in their wood. When trees are burned, this carbon returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. With fewer trees around to take in the carbon dioxide, this greenhouse gas accumulates in the atmosphere and accelerates global warming.

Deforestation also threatens the world's biodiversity. Tropical forests are home to great numbers of animal and plant species. When forests are logged or burned, it can drive many of those species into extinction. Some scientists say we are already in the midst of a mass-extinction episode.

More immediately, the loss of trees from a forest can leave soil more prone to erosion. This causes the remaining plants to become more vulnerable to fire as the forest shifts from being a closed, moist environment to an open, dry one.

While deforestation can be permanent, this is not always the case. In North America, for example, forests in many areas are returning thanks to conservation efforts.

Causes and Effcts of Cutting Trees

of the most important parts of the planet we live in. Trees are truly important to the environment, animals, and of course for us humans. They are important for the climate of the Earth, they act as filters of carbon dioxide,, and they are also important for their visual demand. However, the trees on our planet are being depleted at a very fast rate. According to some estimates, more than 50 percent of the tree cover has disappeared due to human activity. Although humans have been practicing deforestation since ages Deforestation is the clearance of forests by cutting trees or burning .The truth about Deforestation has been shown. Some people
are trying to fight this problem. Others are ignoring it and hoping it will go
away. Still others don't even seem to care This essay will discuss the causes and effects of cutting trees in African forests

Cutting out trees in African forests has three major causes, the major first causes is that wood is used as a prime resource of energy , as an example trees are cut down in developing countries to be used as a firewood which are used for cooking and heating purpose. Another cause of cutting wood is for economic benefit, trees are the main source for many of our needs from papers to furniture , beside that forests are also cleared in addition to expand urban areas and to make highways and roads ,the third reason is to grow crops and to create a grazing land. For this reason Forests are cut down to create land for grazing farm animals and to clear land for growing crops. As a matter of fact the unawareness of the the bad effects of cutting trees to our environment leads to Irresponsible behavior by people ,many people did not even know that by cutting down trees they are basically committing a murder because the more trees we have the better the oxygen in our environment and vice versa The truth about Deforestation has been shown. Some people
are trying to fight this problem. Others are...
