|
How can urban sprawl negatively affect wildlife populations?
by increasing available habitats

by isolating populations and limiting breeding
by enhancing genetic diversity
|
Which of the following agricultural practices can directly decrease plant diversity?
implementing crop rotation
using organic fertilisers
planting cover crops
converting woodland and hedgerows into fields
|
How can the use of herbicides in agriculture impact biodiversity?
it increases the diversity of plant species
it enhances the overall health of the ecosystem
it may harm non-target species or those that depend on target species
it promotes the growth of beneficial insects
|
What is a monoculture in agriculture?
growing a diverse range of crops in a small area
integrating livestock and crop production
rotating crops each season to maintain soil health
growing a single crop over a large area
|
How do monocultures affect biodiversity?
they directly decrease the diversity of plants and dependent species
they promote the growth of beneficial insects
they increase the diversity of plants and dependent species
they provide a variety of habitats for wildlife
|
What is the primary cause of global warming?
natural climate cycles
deforestation and land-use changes
burning fossil fuels and releasing greenhouse gases
increased solar radiation reaching Earth's surface
|
How can climate change influence species distribution?
by causing suitable habitats for some species to expand or contract
by enhancing the adaptability of all species to new conditions
by promoting the migration of all species to new areas
by making all regions more habitable for all species
|
Which species are most at risk of extinction due to rapid climate change?
slow-moving species that cannot keep up with the pace of change
species that are well-adapted to warmer conditions
fast-moving species that can easily adapt to new conditions
species with a wide range of habitat preferences
