-|Description=Forest area that became harvested/logged due to demand for additional deforestation, i.e. deforested because of causes not related to changes in food demand. The wood from these grid cells is not used to fulfil the timber demand, and the assumption is made that natural vegetation can't regrow and agricultural activities are not possible (area is degraded).
