the amount of annual rainfall competition between consumers the energy available to producers diversity of the resources in the habitat
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Deforestation in the rainforest can lead to localized extinctions of populations of some organisms. Once an area is deforested, which is most likely to decrease and result in organisms' extinctions?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the amount of annual rainfall
- competition between consumers
- the energy available to producers
- diversity of the resources in the habitat

Could you tell me which one is correct?

diversity of the resources in the habitat
