Question

1. which of the following best describes the impact of the farming practices on biodiversity? biodiversity will increase due to the introduction of new species for agriculture. biodiversity will decrease due the reduction in food source and habitat for native species. biodiversity will decrease due to native organisms living in the area moving to new habitats. biodiversity will increase due to additional nutrients provided to the soil from ash left over from the fires.

Explanation:

Farming often leads to habitat loss and fragmentation, which reduces the food sources and living - spaces for native species. This generally results in a decrease in biodiversity. Introduction of new species for agriculture can lead to competition and invasive species issues rather than an increase in biodiversity. While ash from fires might provide some nutrients, it is not a common or sustainable way to increase biodiversity in the long - term context of farming. Native organisms moving to new habitats is also a sign of habitat degradation in the original area, which is a negative impact on biodiversity.

Answer:

B. Biodiversity will decrease due the reduction in food source and habitat for native species.
