Question

multiple choice 1 point based on pages 7-9, which of the following is false? coast redwoods are not impacted by climate change because of their large size. burl poaching is the illegal cutting of outgrowths of gnarly wood that sometimes grow near the base of trees and are used to make beautiful woodworking pieces. trees lock away carbon (known as carbon sequestration) for much longer than other plant species due to the massive size of coast redwoods and their ability to live for thousands of years. illegal marijuana growers clearcut redwood forests, use pesticides that kill young trees, and cause erosion of valuable topsoil. clear my selection

Explanation:

Climate change impacts all ecosystems and plant species, including coast redwoods, regardless of their size. Factors like temperature shifts, altered precipitation, and extreme weather events affect their habitat, growth, and survival. The other options (about burl poaching, carbon sequestration of trees, and illegal marijuana growers' impacts on redwoods) align with known ecological or human - related impacts on coast redwoods, while the claim about coast redwoods being unaffected by climate change due to size is false.

Answer:

A. Coast redwoods are not impacted by climate change because of their large size.
