Which of the following is a consequence of climate change-induced soil erosion in forests?

  1. Increased water retention capacity of the soil
  2. Enhanced soil fertility
  3. Reduced biodiversity
  4. Improved soil structure
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What role do forests play in mitigating climate change?

  1. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
  2. They release oxygen into the atmosphere.
  3. They regulate the water cycle.
  4. All of the above
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

How does climate change affect the pH of forest soils?

  1. It increases soil pH, making it more alkaline.
  2. It decreases soil pH, making it more acidic.
  3. It has no significant impact on soil pH.
  4. It causes soil pH to fluctuate erratically.
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is a potential consequence of climate change-induced changes in forest soil microbial communities?

  1. Enhanced nutrient cycling
