Deforestation, clearance, or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees from land which is then converted to a non-forest use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.
Some advantages of deforestation include freeing land for agriculture, allowing human settlement, allowing for more wood products and enabling grazing. Some disadvantages include destruction of natural habitats, climatic change and extinction of animals and plants.
