Logging deforestation zoom Ilustración e icono

A circular illustration depicts a forest area with several tree stumps, stacked logs, and remaining standing trees, indicating recent timber harvesting. Within the ecological hierarchy, individual trees (vascular plant organisms) are components of a larger forest ecosystem. In the fields of environmental science and forestry, the scene represents deforestation that reduces habitat structure and primary productivity while diminishing carbon sequestration of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The entities shown are plants and their woody tissues (xylem) in a terrestrial forest habitat, with cut trunks and bark surfaces clearly visible.
