Deforestation is a primary human activity that contributes to the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide through the release of stored carbon, as described in [1] and [2]. Additionally, [3] links the two by noting that deforestation associated with large-scale infrastructure projects can lead to the release of carbon dioxide from decomposing organic matter.
