Why Europeans deforested Europe

Описание: Europeans deforested Europe over centuries primarily to create agricultural land and clear forests for timber and fuel. The expansion of settlements, farming, and cities, along with demand for building materials for housing, ships, and early industrial furnaces, drove the loss of forest cover. Fuel for heating, the introduction of iron smelting that required charcoal, and, more recently, a shift toward biomass energy have also contributed significantly.
