Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Old-growth forests are considered reservoirs of biodiversity because they have a diverse range of plant and animal species, as well as unique ecological processes and habitats that have developed over a long period of time. Second-growth forests may have some biodiversity, but they do not have the same level of complexity and diversity as old-growth forests. Commercial forests and tree plantations are generally managed for production of specific commercial species and do not prioritize biodiversity conservation. Therefore, the option E is not the best choice in this case.
