True
False
Question 4
Question
What are the impacts of Agriculture on Biodiversity?
Answer
Farmers select more productive crops so the gene pool is reduced
Woodland clearance to increase farmland area allows new species to live in the new habitat, increasing the diversity
Pesticides remove unwanted pests, reducing the number of species
Monoculture of crops allows a greater number of different species to live in one area
