Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers clearcutting, a deforestation method, focusing on its environmental impacts (habitat destruction, soil erosion, climate change, air pollution, pesticide use), alternatives (selective logging, group/patch cutting), and connections to the carbon cycle, climate change, soil, and water. It provides exam tips, practice questions (multiple-choice and free-response), scoring breakdowns, and emphasizes the interconnectedness of these concepts.
