DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deforestation is the permanent clearing of forests to make the land available for other uses. The main reasons for deforestation are overpopulation, urbanization, wood requirement, obtaining land for cattle-grazing. There has been a considerable decrease in the number of plant and animal species due to deforestation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trees are cut down for use as building material, timber or sold as fuel (sometimes in the form of charcoal or timber), while cleared land is used as pasture for livestock and agricultural crops. The vast majority of agricultural activity resulting in deforestation is subsidized by government tax revenue.
