Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Destroys forest ecosystems, depriving wildlife of natural habitats and decreasing biodiversity. Still, fauna can return to the area when the forest is renewed. Increases the risks of soil erosion. Trees slow down water currents, preventing rill formation, this is why clear-cutting increases erosion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deforestation. A process that involves clearing trees from an area without replacing them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Group selection removes a small portion of trees in an area over a number of years. Single-tree selection removes specific individuals in an area. Both management practices have associated benefits and disadvantages.
