Answer:
The timber companies removing all the trees from entire hillside when they are harvesting logs is a practice that could cause the following when it is time to plant in spring:
1. It could affect the quality of plant needed nutrients in the soil and beneficial microorganism population in the soil which could impact negatively the planting season.
2. Trees serves as protection of soil nutrients against wind erosions, so the soil nutrients would be affected.
The farmers tilling the soil means preparing the soil for a farming season as the following effect:
1. Helps control weed for the planting season.
2. This practice could further encourage soil erosion if not done well.
3. Tilling the soil could make leftover plants from the felling of trees mix well with the soil and also add nutrients to the soil when they decay.
