In IMAGE deforestation is the conversion of forests into agricultural land caused by agriculture expansion (see component [[Land use allocation]]). It may, however, also supply a relevant volume to the total wood removals. Counter-intuitive effects on land-use will occur when deforestation rates are slowed down, as the area of managed forest will increase to fulfill the same wood demand (ten Brink et al., 2010). | In IMAGE deforestation is the conversion of forests into agricultural land caused by agriculture expansion (see component [[Land use allocation]]).
