1
Which type of forest is most often clearcut and then replanted to make single age stands of wood?
Rainforests in the Amazon
Coniferous (pine trees) forests out in the western US
Deciduous ("leafy") forests in the eastern US
2
Which of these are examples of PROVISIONING ecosystem services?
hiking trails, scenic views
erosion, air quality, carbon storage
water cycle, nutrient cycling
lumber, fuel, food supply
3
testing the effect of fire intensity on biodiversity of forest community - independent variable?
fire intensity
soil
water
forest community biodiversity
4
A forest is cleared of trees that provide shade. The remaining plants must be able to:
produce wind-blown seeds.
develop deep root systems.
withstand direct sunlight.
attract insect pollinators.
5
Which of the following would be an example of an "early" IPM strategy for managing pine beetles?
Removing weak and diseased trees from the forest
Spraying the forest with a pesticide to kill the beetles
Developing Genetically Modified trees that are resistant to pine beeles
Suppressing all fires in the forest
6
The aesthetic beauty of a forest is an example of a
support service
provision
regulating service
cultural service
7
All of these standards need to be met for a forestry practice to be certified
EXCEPT
...
the cut areas have to be replanted.
waterways are wildlife habitat have to be protected.
the cut areas can be replanted with just a single species.
parts of the forest have to be preserved.
8
What type of trees are usually sun-loving rather than shade tolerant?
Oak
Maple
Ash
Pine

16
Slash and burn agriculture is a type of
industrialized agriculture
high-input agriculture
traditional subsistence agriculture
monoculture agriculture
17
Which of the following is an advantage of clearcutting?
Maximum short-term economic return
Increased biodiversity
Decreased soil erosion
Minimized short-term economic return
18
Which of the following would be a consequence of clearcutting?
Increase in atmospheric carbon
increase in atmospheric oxygen and better air quality
decrease in soil and water temperature
reduction of flooding or run off
19
Suppressing forest fires leads to
less nutrient cycling in an area
all possible choices
a buildup of dead biomass that can fuel larger fires
the growth of non-fire adapted species
