using land:

humans reduce land area to-

-building

-quarrying

-farming

-dumping waste

could result in destruction of habitats

deforestation is cutting down of forests

reasons:

-clearing land for farming for more food

-to grow crops so biofuels can be produced

problems caused:

less biodiversity-

when habitats are destroyed more chance of extinction which = less biodiversity

more co2 released into atmosphere-

co2 released when trees are burnt for land

microorganisms feeding on dead wood…
