Why can natural vegetation decrease due to agricultural expansion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Natural forest areas may be cleared and converted into farmland
To expand agriculture, forests and grasslands may be cleared and converted into fields. This destroys the natural vegetation growing there and reduces its area. Changes in sunlight or rainfall are not the direct reason natural vegetation declines during agricultural expansion. Exam tip: conversion of natural land into farmland is a major human cause of vegetation loss.
