What happens to the trees during the industrial revolution?

During the Industrial Revolution, vast quantities of trees were cut down to meet the increasing demand for wood, fuel, and land for agriculture and urban development. This deforestation led to significant environmental changes, including loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and disruption of local ecosystems. Additionally, the expansion of industries and railways further contributed to habitat destruction and pollution. The consequences of these actions have had lasting impacts on forest ecosystems and climate change.
