Selective logging—the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact—is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, leaving little behind except wood debris and a denuded landscape.

Answer:

Explanation:

Clear cutting can be define as the removal of entire vegetation cover or large forests from a region. But in selective cutting some unwanted trees, bushes, shrubs are cut so as to increase the area for the growth of trees which are of value. Selective cutting is more sustainable than clear cutting because in clear cutting the chances of loss of diversity of plant species is more. Also some species native to a region may get extinct by clear cutting. Hence, selective cutting is more sustainable.

cupoosta [38]

Answer;

-Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

-They protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms ( they provide a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion) and also provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms.

Some "cleaner fish" consume parasites and mucus from the skin of larger fish. What would be a reasonable argument for why this c
marin [14]
This could be a mutualism rather than a commensal relationship because when<span> "cleaner fish" consume parasites and mucus from the skin of larger fish, they don't only receive food from the relationship, eliminating parasite and such from the large fish, but also they gain protection from predators, thus making the relationship a good example of mutualism, because both parts of the relationship gain something from the relationship itself. </span>
