A practice that involves the clearing of trees and brush for short-term farming

Geography
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago
8 0

Such a practice is known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn. This was used by tribal people and American Indians for farming. They clear the land, grow crops for a few years, and move away when the land is fallow, allowing the land to regain nutrients and the forest to grow back. They generally return to the land in 10 to 12 years.

Novay_Z [31]
I think that the question asks about the time of the War in Bosnia and other parts of Yugoslavia in the first part of the 90s. The Serbian soldiers that committed mass murder of Bosnian population, mostly men, referred to this as "ethnic cleansing" which sounded better than "genocide"

How might an invasive species threaten biodiversity
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The invasive s p e c i e s tend to diminish the populations of native s p e c i e s because they outcompete them, and also manage to disturb the ecosystem.

Explanation:

The invasive species can or cannot be dangerous for the native biodiversity, but unfortunately, it is the second one that is much more common. The reasons as to why the invasive species tend to threaten the biodiversity are that they often don't have a native predator that will control their numbers, outcompete the native species for resources, and the native species don't have defense mechanisms against them. These factors result in havoc in the ecosystem in a relatively short period, with the potential to totally destroy it and changed it.

There are thousands of examples of invasive species around the world, some much more obvious than others. The Burmese pythons in Florida for example, have started to overtake the a p e x predator niche from the alligators by directly attacking them. On the other side of the world, in Australia, the cats and rabbits have contributed to leading hundreds of native species on the verge of extinction, and if there hasn't been human intervention there is a very high chance that a lot of native species would have been already extinct.
