Which of the following is NOT a factor that contributes to the vulnerability of forests to climate change?

  1. Increased frequency and intensity of droughts

  2. Rising temperatures

  3. Changes in precipitation patterns

  4. Increased human activity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increased human activity is a factor that contributes to the vulnerability of forests to climate change. It is not a factor that contributes to the vulnerability of forests to climate change.

Which of the following is NOT a consequence of the vulnerability of forests to climate change?

  1. Loss of biodiversity

  2. Increased risk of wildfires

  3. Reduced water quality

  4. Increased carbon emissions


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increased carbon emissions is a consequence of the vulnerability of forests to climate change. It is not a consequence of the vulnerability of forests to climate change.

Which of the following is NOT a strategy for reducing the vulnerability of forests to climate change?

  1. Reforestation

  2. Afforestation

  3. Sustainable forest management

  4. Increased logging


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increased logging is not a strategy for reducing the vulnerability of forests to climate change. It is a strategy for increasing the vulnerability of forests to climate change.

Which of the following is NOT an extreme weather event that can affect forests?

  1. Droughts

  2. Floods

  3. Wildfires

  4. Tornadoes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tornadoes are not an extreme weather event that can affect forests. They are an extreme weather event that can affect other ecosystems, such as grasslands and urban areas.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can increase the resilience of forests to climate change?

  1. Genetic diversity

  2. Structural diversity

  3. Species diversity

  4. Age diversity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Age diversity is not a factor that can increase the resilience of forests to climate change. It is a factor that can decrease the resilience of forests to climate change.
