they are not regulated by the government
the concern about safety to consume
they can cause food allergies
The Green Revolution was
a dramatic increase in crop yields in developing countries
change to more sustainable agriculture
way of fighting soil erosion
power grab by the Green party in the 1980s
Overgrazing of grasslands can lead to reduced range quality. Two of the major effects of overgrazing are
erosion and desertification
eutrophication and increased methane production
higher fire potential and increased productivity
higher primary productivity and ammonification
Which of the following is an example of a solution to the tragedy of the commons?
Improving literacy among urban populations
Raising tax rates for large corporations
Inventing stronger antibiotics
Passing a law to set limits for fishermen
Which of the following type of tree harvesting is the most detrimental to the environment?
Strip Cutting
Selective Cutting
Clear Cutting
Partial Harvest
Monocropping has a number of disadvantages. These include all of the following EXCEPT
Erosion due to exposure of large areas of soil during planting.
Nutrition and pesticide needs should be similar throughout a single crop.
Pests are likely to attack a monocrop due to the high concentration.
Loss of habitat for natural pest predators.
One way a local community might regulate a shared and limited resource and reduce the tragedy of the commons is to ....
eliminate ownership of the resources and make them available to all
divide the resources into parcels and assign them to individuals
offer subsides to users of the resources in the form of tax breaks
reduce the cost of access to the resources
Which of the following environmental effects would most likely result from the clear-cutting of boreal forests by industrial logging operations?
There will be an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, which will improve air quality.
There will be an increase in farming on the cleared areas of land, which will reduce incidences of flooding.
There will be an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, which will contribute to climate change.
There will be a decrease in the temperature of soil and nearby bodies of water, which will increase biodiversity.
An increase in the amount of nutrients in a lake is known as
calcification
cellular respiration
eutrophication
photosynthesis
Fertilizer, sewage, and animal feces can wash in to water, leading to...
thermal pollution
eutrophication
photosynthesis
noise pollution
An advantage of using synthetic fertilizer instead of organic fertilizer is that
synthetic fertilizer can provide more targeted macronutrients to the crops
synthetic fertilizer remains in the soil longer than organic fertilizer does, reducing the volume needed and, therefore, the cost to the farmer
synthetic fertilizer adds to soil texture and increases the soil's water-holding capacity
organic fertilizer runs off more readily into waterways, leading to nutrient overload
