|
How can urban sprawl negatively affect wildlife populations?
by increasing available habitats
by isolating populations and limiting breeding
by promoting interbreeding between species
by enhancing genetic diversity
|
Which of the following agricultural practices can directly decrease plant diversity?
using organic fertilisers
implementing crop rotation
converting woodland and hedgerows into fields
planting cover crops
|
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 promotes the growth of beneficial insects
it may harm non-target species or those that depend on target species
|
What is a monoculture in agriculture?
integrating livestock and crop production
growing a diverse range of crops in a small area
growing a single crop over a large area
rotating crops each season to maintain soil health
|
How do monocultures affect biodiversity?
they increase the diversity of plants and dependent species
they promote the growth of beneficial insects
they directly decrease the diversity of plants and dependent species
they provide a variety of habitats for wildlife
|
What is the primary cause of global warming?
burning fossil fuels and releasing greenhouse gases
increased solar radiation reaching Earth's surface
deforestation and land-use changes
natural climate cycles
|
How can climate change influence species distribution?
by promoting the migration of all species to new areas
by causing suitable habitats for some species to expand or contract
by enhancing the adaptability of all species to new conditions
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
fast-moving species that can easily adapt to new conditions
species with a wide range of habitat preferences
species that are well-adapted to warmer conditions
