Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Human activities such as agriculture and logging often result in habitat loss or the introduction of invasive species, leaving native species vulnerable. In the early days, biomes were classified by appearance-or physiognomy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans have converted forest to agricultural and urban uses, exploited species, fragmented wildlands, changed the demographic structure of forests, altered habitat, degraded the environment with atmospheric and soil pollutants, introduced exotic pests and competitors, and domesticated favored species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deforestation in India and other areas may occur where there is a massive presence of plant life. Removal or depletion of trees results in climatic changes, the disappearance of wildlife, soil erosion, and greenhouse gases emissions, etc. The loss of trees adversely affects every biological life in all possible ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -If we look at any of the forest biomes, humans alter these biomes by deforestation, accidentally introducing invasive species, hunting animals, polluting rivers, spraying pesticides, allowing livestock to graze in forests, and so forth. These changes may be on a small scale, or they may be on a larger scale.
