Question

when commercial and residential properties are constructed, land is often stripped of its vegetation. with no vegetation, ecosystems are damaged and habitats are lost. which of the following is the best solution for restoring some of the native plant and animal life to a newly developed piece of land? a. plant grasses and trees that are commonly used for landscaping b. compost the removed vegetation c. install artificial trees and turf d. replant native grasses and trees around the building site

Explanation:

To restore native plant and animal life, native species are ideal as they are adapted to the local ecosystem. Planting commonly - used landscaping plants (A) may not support native wildlife as well. Composting the removed vegetation (B) is good for soil health but doesn't directly restore native life. Installing artificial trees and turf (C) is not a natural solution. Replanting native grasses and trees (D) around the building site directly helps in restoring native plant life which in turn can support native animal life.

Answer:

D. replant native grasses and trees around the building site
