<P>For the 300 years following the arrival of Europeans, land was cleared, mostly for agriculture, at a rate that matched that of population growth.<SUP id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-5">[5]</A></SUP> For every person added to the population, one to two hectares of land was cultivated.<SUP id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-6">[6]</A></SUP> This trend continued until the 1920s when the amount of crop land stabilized in spite of continued population growth. As abandoned farm land reverted to forest the amount of forest land increased reaching a peak in 1963 of 753,000,000 acres (3,050,000 km<SUP>2</SUP>).<SUP id="cite_ref-US-FS-ForestFacts2012_1-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-US-FS-ForestFacts2012-1">[1]</A></SUP> After 1963 there was a gradual decrease through the next few decades which has been reversed with recovery and slight gains in the early 21st century. Gains in forest land have resulted from conversions from crop land and pastures at a higher rate than loss of forest to development.

<P>Deforestation in the United States is affected by many factors. One such factor is the effect, whether positive or negative, that the logging industry has on forests in the country. Logging in the United States is a hotly debated topic as groups who either support or oppose logging argue over its benefits and negative effects. "This industry comprises the establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) cutting timber; (2) cutting and transporting timber; (3) producing wood chips in the field,” the definition provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.<SUP id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-10">[10]</A></SUP></P>
<P>"The United States is the second leading producer and consumer of forest products and accounts for about one-fourth of the world’s production and consumption. The United States is also the world’s second largest producer of softwood and hardwood lumber. In 1996, total annual sales for commercial (nonfederal) timber and nontimber forest products was approximately $3.8 billion."<SUP class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<I><A href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><SPAN title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

<P>The biggest issue thought to be facing deforestation in the United States is <A href="/wiki/Illegal_logging" title="Illegal logging">illegal logging</A> in forests although facts prove otherwise from habitat and forest cover loss annually to catastrophic fire. More than 83 million acres have been lost to wildfire from 2005 to date (source: U.S. National Interagency Fire Center, <A rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/fireInfo_statistics.html">https://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/fireInfo_statistics.html</A>) The <A href="/wiki/United_States_Forest_Service" title="United States Forest Service">United States Forest Service</A> states that illegal logging is the biggest problem with deforestation because it is nearly impossible to monitor and stop.<SUP class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<I><A href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><SPAN title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The Forest Service and EPA work together to make sure that the permits for logging companies in the United States are granted in such a way that the forests are kept healthy and sustainable, and illegal logging reduces the chances that forests will be kept this way.<SUP class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<I><A href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><SPAN title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
