Detailed explanation-1: -Agricultural monoculture upsets the natural balance of soils. Too many of the same plant species in one field area rob the soil of its nutrients, resulting in decreasing varieties of bacteria and microorganisms that are needed to maintain fertility of the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cultivating a single plant species on the forest land is called a monoculture forest. Monoculture is a dominant type of forest plantation. Performing monocultures reduces the biodiversity in the forest due to the presence of one species of organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Raising a single crop has drawbacks as it increases the risk of disease and pest outbreaks because monocultures lack other plant and animal species that limit the spread of disease and control pests through predation.
