Clearcutting is the most damaging method of deforestation because a. alien trees are planted in deforested areas instead of native trees b. there is little regard for the future growth of forests c. too many trees are replanted in deforested areas d. forests are cleared too slowly and new growth is uneven

B. there is little regard for the future growth of forests

Explanation:

Clearcutting deforestation is a matter of world order. According to data provided by the World Forest Observatory, forest devastation reached about 29.7 million hectares worldwide in 2016, an increase of almost 51% compared to 2015. The main contributors to this increase were forest fires, as in Portugal and California (USA), as well as the expansion of agriculture, plant extraction and mining.

The main consequences are related to the environment and everything that concerns it. By clearing, all the biodiversity of the area is compromised. Fauna species lose their habitat and flora species can be on the threat of extinction list and thus cause a huge environmental imbalance, damaging even the primary activities on which many families depend, as well as the economy such as hunting, agriculture and livestock.

The removal of vegetation cover also aggravates the issue of climate change. In addition to increasing emissions of pollutant gases into the atmosphere that have aggravated the greenhouse effect and global warming, deforestation is also considered one of the factors responsible for climate change. The years are getting hotter and hotter, and the rising temperature of the earth has caused countless damage to ecosystems as well as human health.
