Which of the following critiques of forestry’s impact on the physical environment is a positive effect?(1 point)
To clarify, a critique typically refers to a negative assessment or criticism. Therefore, it would be incorrect to label any critique as a positive effect. If you are asking for a positive effect of forestry on the physical environment, some examples could include:
- Reduced soil erosion due to the presence of trees and their root systems holding the soil in place.
- Promotion of water conservation and improved water quality through trees intercepting rainfall and filtering pollutants from runoff.
- Carbon sequestration by forests, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
Please let me know if you need further clarification or if you have another question.
