Multiple Choice

Use this description to answer the following questions.
A the human population keeps growing, severe human disturbances are altering many biomes. For example, tropical rainforests are being cut down or burned to create large expanses of agricultural land.

• A) No, because tropical forests are so diverse with extensive vertical layers that these forests extend their climate over agricultural land.
• B)No, microclimate changes would only be observed if tropical rainforests were totally removed.
• C)No, as long as you fertilize the soil to enhance crop growth.
• D)Yes, one can potentially expect to see a drier microclimate because without tropical vegetation, agricultural land would be exposed to direct sunlight, soils would dry out more quickly, and the natural water cycle will likely be disrupted.
• E)Yes, some changes might occur but we can't predict what the changes would be.
