← HistoryWhich risk increases for terrace farming when deforestation accelerates upslope?
A)Reduction in soil nutrient retention✓
B)Increased incident solar radiation damage
C)Enhanced evapotranspiration cooling effect
D)Promotion of nitrogen fixation microbes

Reduced tree root cohesion causes increased soil erosion via surface runoff, due to decreased soil structure support affecting nutrient retention. Therefore, terraces experience fertility loss, rather than direct sun damage which would affect crops rather than soil.
