Question

question 36 (2 points) why is monoculture controversial? 1) it contributes to the greenhouse effect 2) it makes the goals of the \green revolution\ harder to obtain 3) it affects only tropical rainforests 4) it reduces natural variety of crops

Explanation:

Monoculture involves growing a single crop species over a large area. This practice reduces the natural variety of crops, which can lead to issues like increased vulnerability to pests and diseases, soil - nutrient depletion, and a loss of biodiversity. It has little direct link to the greenhouse effect compared to other factors like fossil - fuel burning. It doesn't necessarily make green revolution goals harder as the green revolution also promoted high - yield monocultures in some cases. And it is not limited to affecting tropical rainforests.

Answer:

1. It reduces natural variety of crops
