Abusive Mob Spawning. This form of griefing is spawning mobs to the point that the server lags. With enough lag, the map can become corrupted and unusable.
If the spawned mobs are hostile, they can be especially destructive on PvP servers. Creepers , withers , blazes , endermen , ghasts , and the ender dragon are even more destructive, as they can move and destroy blocks.

For a long time, block logging plugins did not have the ability to roll back the growth of trees.
Because of this, griefers would place saplings and use bonemeal if available to grow full trees in the locations where houses once stood, preventing rollbacks from easily undoing their damage. They would also place lots of TNT on a tree and firebomb it if it has enough leaves to create devastating explosions.
Previously, server admins would restrict the use of saplings and bonemeal with Bukkit permissions; however, that lead to problems for normal players.
If you aren't using plugins, then you don't need to worry about this as good old fashioned backups are not affected by trees. Many builders use a lot of flammable materials, and if the server has fire spread enabled, a griefer armed with flint and steel can quickly cause a lot of damage.

If a backup is not available, then the map may need to be deleted and all structures will be lost. This was a big issue before the Beta switch to a new chunk managing method.
Also a rare form of griefing, but quite destructive.
