DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain how deforestation can lead to a decrease in biodiversity.

• Deforestation increases the number of predators in an area.

• Deforestation removes the natural habitat of many species, leading to their decline or extinction.

• Deforestation improves soil quality, which reduces plant diversity.

• Deforestation increases the amount of sunlight, which benefits all species.
