To my knowledge there hasn't been any real studies on the amount of land destroyed in Vietnam. The reasons possibly because if you are talking about by bombings and the destruction that caused or by the amounts of chemicals we sprayed, such as Agent orange and the other herbicides we used to kill and defoliate the jungle hid aways the enemy used. By the second it is known that most of the land in the south has been affected and in some cases you could even say destroyed because of the contamination from the herbicides.

There isn't really a exact percentage, more of a descriptive term. Most of the land destroyed by B-52s and F-4 Phantom fighter jets were strips of jungle and rice paddy fields. Rice paddy fields were part of the supplies for the opposing Viatnemese, so destroying the fields were effectively cutting off food.

Land was destroyed with napalm, which could burn for long periods.
