Question

Clear cutting has a similar effect as controlled burning of a forest. True False

Answer 1

The correct answer is false and here is why:

Clear cutting refers to the cutting of trees, specifically all of the trees in one select area. Replanting is not done and this leads to deforestation.

Controlled burns have a completely different affect. They burn the under brush to help keep the soil rich with nutrients, plus they also help to prevent large crown fires that burn down whole forests from happening.

Clear cutting is a bad thing and controlled burns are a good limiter for a forest.
