Respuesta :

Answer:The correct answer is option "Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A) Clearing small patches of land to pasture dairy cows, which decreases water pollution from runoff.

B) Building terraces on sloping land to grow rice, which destabilizes hillsides.

C) Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity.

D) Moving livestock to higher pasture areas in the spring, which leads to soil degradation.

The correct answer is option C) "Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity".

Tropical regions are rich in forested landscapes, where multiple species of animals and plants live. The agricultural practice that most significant long-term environmental impact is to burn these areas to create pasture. It is estimated that burning forested lands cannot be recovered in least than 28 years, while some areas have permanent damages.

The forest is a home for number of multiple species for their necessities and survival. These regions have high volume of forested landscapes. Different agricultural practices are performed in these areas.

Burning extensively the area of land covered with forest with a view to create pasture results in a decrease in biodiversity and has a significant environmental impact on tropical regions in long term.

Agriculture practices

  • These areas are burned with a view to create of forest pastures. The practice of burning these areas has the most significant impact on environment in the long run.

  • Practicing such agricultural practices of burning areas may result in permanent infertility of such areas.

  • The damages caused by the burning of such areas can result in degradation of land and such land cannot be recovered for a estimated period of 28 years.

Therefore OPTION C "Burning extensive areas of forested land to create pasture, which decreases biodiversity" is correct.
