Question

question 11
logging removes large areas of forest. trees normally store carbon and provide habitats for other organisms.
what is a likely effect on the ecosystem?
the soil becomes colder instantly as carbon dioxide is responsible for warming the soil.
water evaporates completely from the soil, leaving no moisture behind.
animals adapt overnight to living without trees, and with no oxygen.
more carbon stays in the atmosphere, and animal habitats are lost.

Explanation:

Trees store carbon and provide habitats. Logging reduces trees, so more carbon is released into the atmosphere and animal habitats are lost. The first option is wrong as carbon - dioxide warms the atmosphere not soil directly in the way described. The second option is an over - exaggeration as water won't evaporate completely. The third option is incorrect as animals can't adapt overnight and trees are not the only source of oxygen.

Answer:

More carbon stays in the atmosphere, and animal habitats are lost.
