Question

if many trees are removed from a forest by logging, what is the most immediate effect on the carbon - cycle in that forest? decreased combustion of fossil fuels increased production of organic compounds decreased use of atmospheric co2 increased rates of decomposition

Explanation:

Trees absorb carbon - dioxide during photosynthesis. When many trees are removed by logging, there are fewer trees to take in carbon - dioxide. This leads to an increased use of atmospheric CO₂ for photosynthesis decreasing, thus increasing the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Also, the production of organic compounds through photosynthesis by trees decreases. Decomposition rates are not directly affected immediately and combustion of fossil fuels is not related to this immediate forest - logging effect.

Answer:

decreased use of atmospheric CO₂
