Deforestation is caused by human activities such as cutting trees for lumber (without reforestation) and clearing trees for crop land.It is also due to forest die back with increased droughts caused by climate change, increased infestation with tree killing insects that are no longer killed by winter temperatures, and increased forest fires which both remove t rees and cause massive carbon dioxide emission.

The main way deforestation happens is by cutting down trees to use the wood. This happened in the 1300-1400 in Europe and the landscape looked bare.
