Answer 1

Recreational use can engage more people with forest conservation.

Answer 2

The positive effect of forestry's impact on the physical environment is that recreational use can engage more people with forest conservation.

Answer 3

The positive effect among the given options is "Recreational use can engage more people with forest conservation." Now, let's understand how to arrive at this answer.

First, we need to analyze each option to see which one presents a positive effect of forestry's impact on the physical environment:

- Option 1: "Forestry can lead to the removal of carbon sinks." This is not a positive effect because the removal of carbon sinks contributes to global warming and climate change.

- Option 2: "Low regulation of fires increases the amount of slash and burn agriculture that occurs." This is also not a positive effect as slash and burn agriculture can lead to deforestation and the loss of biodiversity.

- Option 3: "Recreational use can engage more people with forest conservation." This indicates that engaging people in recreational activities in forests can increase awareness and interest in forest conservation, which is a positive effect.

- Option 4: "Deforestation can cause soil erosion and landslides." This is not a positive effect as deforestation leads to various negative consequences, including soil erosion and landslides.

Based on this analysis, we can conclude that the positive effect is "Recreational use can engage more people with forest conservation."
