Scientists in Brazil have developed specific fertilizers and special breeds of soybeans and corn so crops can grow on large areas of tropical lands. This is valuable because farmers can help to feed the growing human population and strengthen the economy. However, trade-offs must be considered because farming on tropical lands can also A add helpful microorganisms to the soil B remove oxygen from the atmosphere C reduce populations of native species D reduce mutations and disease in wildlife populations

C reduce populations of native species

Explanation:

The overexploitation of the land by farming practices represents one of the most important challenges that face wild populations and threatened species, representing a concern to biodiversity conservation. Farming practices can destroy the natural structure of the soil, reducing diversity by killing small animals (e.g., insects), bacteria, and fungi that live in the substrate. Moreover, runoff may also carry herbicides and pesticides used in monocultures that can damage aquatic ecosystems, disrupting and killing aquatic wildlife and polluting water sources. Some ecological farming methods that help to reduce biodiversity loss include, among others, the use of natural fertilizers, diversification of crops, biological pest control, etc.

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.
