A healthy environment depends on bio geochemical cycles maintaining a balance of input and output. When forests are cut down, which process of the carbon cycle is most affected?

In relation to the carbon cycle, if the trees were all cut, there would be an inversion in the cycle, directly affecting the absorption of CO2 by the plants. As a result, terrestrial global warming would increase due to the high rate of CO2 release into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

substitution is the answer in this case

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
