Nowadays, land use and habitat loss is a term widely used to describe the loss of biodiversity (the different types of plant and animal species) in any particular area. For instance, non-sustainable land use, such as deforestation (chopping down forests) is a major cause of habitat loss (plants and animals can no longer survive in the changed environment). Human agriculture (land use) also has a great impact on biodiversity.

What is the process of land use change in which plants and animals which previously used the site are displaced or destroyed Generally this results in a reduction in biodiversity?
The process you are describing is called habitat destruction or habitat loss. This occurs when natural habitats are altered or destroyed, leading to displacement or extinction of plant and animal species that rely on that habitat for survival. This often results in a decline in biodiversity as native species are unable to adapt or find new habitats.
