In a general sense, "denuded" describes a state where something has been stripped or deprived of its natural covering, protective layer, or external features. This term is often used to depict landscapes or surfaces that have undergone a process of removal, such as denuded hillsides devoid of vegetation or denuded trees lacking their foliage. The concept can extend to various contexts, including the removal of protective coatings on materials or the deprivation of essential elements, resulting in a state of exposure or barrenness. "Denuded" conveys the idea of a diminished or transformed state, emphasizing the absence of what was once present and highlighting the impact of the removal or loss of covering, whether physical or metaphorical.
