Deforestation is the largest challenge which is currently being faced by the Amazon rainforest. Soy farming and cattle ranching is further increasing the problem of deforestation. The continually disappearing wild lands are a matter of concern. Hydro-electric dams being built are also causing problems.
These problems can be tackled by adopting alternate techniques and correctify the impact of cattle ranching and soy farming.

Cattle ranching is the largest driver of deforestation in every Amazon country, accounting for 80% of current deforestation rates. Amazon Brazil is home to approximately 200 million head of cattle, and is the largest exporter in the world, supplying about one quarter of the global market. Low input cost and easy transportation in rural areas make ranching an attractive economic activity in the forest frontier; low yields and cheap land encourage expansion and deforestation. Approximately 450,000 square kilometers of deforested Amazon in Brazil are now in cattle pasture. Cattle ranching and soy cultivation are often linked as soy replaces cattle pasture, pushing farmers farther into the Amazon.

Which of the following would be the best soil for gardening? 1. Soil texture triangle. 2. Soil that is 35 percent sand, 30 perce
seropon [69]

Answer:

The best soil for gardening is option 2

Explanation:

Loamy soil is the ideal soil for gardening because it is the best for adequate plant growth. A good combination of sand, silt and clay gives the best kind of soil for plant growth. This allows for adequate pores in the soil which is very important for the plant roots and for the passage of water and air into the roots of the plants. The ideal combination for a loamy soil in terms of sand, clay and silt is 40%, 20% and 40% respectively. The best option is the second option which is closest to the ideal loamy soil composition.

I hope I have been able to help.
