What could be the environmental effect of replacing natural mixed forests with one species plantations?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forest diversity could decrease

The direct answer is C: forest diversity could decrease. A natural mixed forest contains many kinds of trees, plants, insects, birds, animals and microorganisms. A one-species plantation, called monoculture, replaces this variety with one selected tree, usually grown for timber. Step by step: mixed forest means many species; many species provide different foods, nests and shelters; replacing them with one species removes several habitats; therefore biodiversity and ecological balance may fall. A is wrong because the habitat of all organisms does not increase; many organisms lose food or shelter. B is unrelated and geographically impossible in this context. C is correct because fewer plant species usually mean fewer kinds of habitats and weaker diversity. D is wrong because planting trees does not end forest laws. Remember: monoculture may simplify timber production but reduces natural diversity.
