Deforestation is the removal of a forest or
stand of trees where the land is thereafter
converted to a non-forest use. Examples of
deforestation include conversion of
forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use.
The term deforestation is often misused to
describe any activity where all trees in an
area are removed. However in temperate
climates, the removal of all trees in an
area—in conformance with sustainable
forestry practices—is correctly described as
regeneration harvest. In temperate
climates, natural regeneration of forest
stands often will not occur in the absence of
disturbance.
