A It doesn’t grow due to lack of nutrients.
B It loses the habitat it needs for survival.
C Its quality degrades due to the logging equipment releasing excess carbon dioxide.
D Overexposure makes it more prone to erosion.
Possible effects of logging on various parts of nature include:
- Wildlife: B. Wildlife may lose their habitat, which can lead to a decrease in population and biodiversity.
- Air: C. The use of logging equipment can release excess carbon dioxide, contributing to air pollution and potentially affecting air quality.
- Soil: D. Logging can lead to overexposure of soil, making it more prone to erosion. This can result in the loss of topsoil, nutrient depletion, and decreased soil fertility.
- Vegetation: A. Logging can disrupt the natural balance of nutrients and organic matter in the soil, affecting vegetation growth. Without sufficient nutrients, vegetation may struggle to grow and thrive.
