decreased plant and animal diversity increased availability of soil nutrients greater access to water for plants and animals less sunlight reaching the ground
I gave my students this multiple choice question: In some communities, forests are cleared through burning, and the deforested land is used for farming. Which of these is a negative consequence of this practice?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- decreased plant and animal diversity
- increased availability of soil nutrients
- greater access to water for plants and animals
- less sunlight reaching the ground

Could you tell me which one is correct?

decreased plant and animal diversity
