Harvesting timber (wood) from a forest does not harm a. soil b. wildlife habitat c. animals d. none of the above

The correct answer is option D, none of the above

Explanation:

Timber is harvested from the trees which are cut down. Loss of trees is harmful to soil, animals and wildlife habitat in the following ways –

a)Soils – when trees are cut down, the soil become loose and thus it can be easily eroded by the water and wind .

b)Wildlife habitat – Several birds, insects and other wildlife have their habitat on trees. Thus, cutting a tree causes destruction of habitat of all these organisms.

c)Animal – Animals depend on trees either for food or habitat. They also suffer when trees are cut down.  

Therefore, option D is the only correct answer.
