What was the main loss of single species plantation in commercial forestry?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduction of forest diversity

The direct answer is option A: single-species plantation reduces forest diversity. A natural forest normally contains many kinds of trees, shrubs, grasses, animals, insects and microorganisms. These organisms depend on one another and create a complex ecosystem. In commercial forestry, officials often planted one useful species in large, regular blocks because it was easier to manage and harvest. The main loss was biodiversity: many native plants and animals lost food, shelter or suitable habitat. Option A is correct because it identifies this ecological loss. Option B is wrong because planting one tree species does not cause the sea to increase. Option C is wrong because cotton production is a separate agricultural matter and is not the main forest consequence. Option D is wrong because rail ticket prices are unrelated to biological diversity or plantation ecology. The reasoning is: one species replaces many species, habitats become simpler, and biodiversity declines. A plantation may produce timber efficiently, but it is not equivalent to a natural forest. Memory cue: “Commercial uniformity means ecological diversity is lost.”
