The economic implications have to do with agriculture. Look what happens when there is an outbreak of mad cow or hoof and mouth disease. Thousands of farmers lose their herds and are financially devastated. This also affects the consumer because the decrease in supply will drive up the costs. But, it could also have the opposite effect. If consumers no longer feel safe, then they will stop eating the particular food and the farmers will lose money.
The same is true with disease in plants. Tobacco mosaic virus can devastate crops, resulting in huge economic losses. On a grand scale, crop diseases can affect human history. Potato blight caused suffering and death in Ireland and resulted in massive migration. Many descendents from Irish folks in the U.S. wouldn't be here if it weren't for a crop disease.
Answer:
B) Absence of native grasses
Explanation:
The grasses, which acted as a windbreak and whose roots anchored the soil in place, were overgrazed and/or removed to allow for farming. Once a few years of severe drought affected the area, any wind storm was able to blow the topsoil away, rendering the farm land of the Great Plains virtually unusable in many areas. Ground cover is an essential part of sustainable agriculture.
