Which of the following are effects of deforestation: I. localised flooding, II. reduced sustainable logging potential, III. reduced watershed stability, IV. increased carbon storage by forests?
Correct answer B. I, II and III only
Explanation
Removing forests increases run-off and flooding, depletes future timber and destabilises watersheds. It reduces, rather than increases, the carbon stored by forests, so IV is false.
