Which of the following is an example of how people use land? * to grow crops All three other choices. to preserve native species to harvest wood Why is it important to preserve farmland? * All three other choices. Farmland provides an important oxygen source for urban areas. Farmland moderates the temperature of urban areas. Farmland provides crops and fruits to support urban and rural populations.

In this chapter, we have reviewed how the puzzle of trees might be addressed by population,markets, political economy, and ethics. Is there room for an analysis or set of solutions to  deforestation that relies on institutions, collective action, and common property theory?How are forests and deforestation a collective action problem? What would an institutionalsolution to forest-cover loss look like? What are the limits of viewing trees as commonproperty?

The question is in the image along with the choices

Which factor is least likely to contribute to distinct community boundaries? Strong climatic gradients Gradual changes in nutrient availability Sharp changes in soil type Human-made barriers

Human lifestyle choices currently release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at higher rates than what occurs naturally. When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide accumulate they trap heat. As a result of this trapped heat, temperatures on Earth's surface are changing   Figure 1 - Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Humans Choice and the Greenhouse Gases Emitted as a Result Which of these ideas would be the best course of action for decreasing land temperatures? 1. Phase-out agricultural production, since that sector, produces the largest amounts of methane and nitrous oxide.   2. Decrease land use and biomass burning, because this sector produces all three major greenhouse gases.   3. increase the number of waste disposal and treatment plants because they do not release carbon dioxide   4. Develop alternative energy sources to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released as a result of power stations

Which of these is the most effective as an action that a farmer could take to help to mitigate climate change? Burn the land regularly to remove debris and prepare for planting Use modified plowing in a conservation tillage method Use a no-till technique to avoid plowing the land Plow the land regularly to prepare for planting Find ways to encourage erosion as a way of refreshing the land

Which of the descriptions below captures how carbon moves from one compartment to another in the terrestrial carbon cycle? The carbon in fossil fuels move from the lithosphere to the atmosphere via combustion. Cellulose in wood moves from the biosphere to the lithosphere via consumption Carbon dioxide moves from the atmosphere to the lithosphere via fixation by special bacteria. Glucose moves from tissues in plants to the atmosphere via consumption

Which of the following is true of India? The dramatic decrease in the number of rice varieties planted puts the food supply at risk. O Use of pesticides have remained stable over the past century. There has been an increase in the diversity of corn crops due to deliberate efforts. Antibiotic resistance is unlikely to be a problem. The effects of climate change are unlikely to have strong effects on agriculture.

Which of the following options is/are goods of ecosystem?A. Fresh airB. Fresh waterC Timber for furnitureD. All of the aboveE. None of the options are correct
