Question

After clear-cutting a section of forest, nutrient levels of the water in the drainage basin were evaluated. There were harmful levels of nitrates present, making the watershed undrinkable. How would one best assess if clear-cutting contributed to the excessive nitrate contents within the water? O Determine the location of potable water and compare the diversity of tree species. Assess the nutrient content within a drainage basin in a similar ecosystem that had not been clear-cut Compare different areas of clear-cut land to determine if there is any variance in nitrate levels. Research the amount of fertilizer that had been used in reforestation efforts. O

Explanation / Answer

Keeping all other factors same, only the determinant factor needs to be assessed:
