Question

Give the precis of the following passage with a suitable title :

Destruction of forest has a major impact on the productivity of our agricultural land. This happens in two ways. Soil erosion increases manifold and the soil liberally gets washed away, leading to an accentuated cycle of floods and droughts. But equally important is the impact of the shortage of fire wood on the productivity of agricultural lands. When firewood becomes scarce, people begin to burn cow dung and crop wastes. In many places cow dung and crop wastes are now the major sources of cooking energy. Thus slowly every part of the plant gets used and nothing back to the soil. Over a period of time the nutrient drain affects productivity add to this the technology of the Green Revolution. The technology of growing high yielding varieties on a limited diet of chemical fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphates and potash. The total production goes up and so does the drain of the nutrients from the soil. ​

Answer 1

It is referred to as a summary of a given text.

Impact of forest destruction

• Forest destruction poses significant influence on agricultural production. Soil erosion and soil being swept away, result in a heightened cycle of floods and droughts.
• The impact of firewood lack on agricultural field production is also significant. People burn cow manure and agricultural wastes when fuel becomes scarce.
• Cow dung and agricultural wastes are primary sources of cooking energy. Plant is gradually consumed up, with nothing in return to the land.
• The technology grows high yields of chemical fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphates, and potash. As overall output rises, so are the nutrients drained from land. ​

Answer 2

Answer:

point out two disadvantages of the destruction of forests
