Answer 1

Forests form a very important part of the ecosystem. They play a very important role in maintaining the ecosystem and climate. Their roots hold the soil particles firmly together and protect them from erosion. In return, the soil contains various nutrients that help the forests in maintaining the nutritive value for

their plants. They provide a habitat for a large scale of plants and animals living in them. They help in providing them food, nutrition, and shelter.

So, option A, B, and D are correct.

As we know, forests help in maintaining the rainfall. They play an integral role in the maintenance of the water cycle.

As we know, forests help in bringing rainfall. They also help in maintaining the water cycle. With excessive deforestation, global warming and the greenhouse effect are on the rise.

So we can say that option C ' Forests do not influence the climate and water cycle' is the incorrect option.
