Anorth carolina timber company proposes to clear-cut 45 hectares of oak-hickory deciduous forest in the appalachian mountains. the company has said that the forest will regrow naturally, and 50 years after the clear-cutting the company plans to harvest again, cutting all the oaks and hickories that have at least a 40-centimeter diameter. a local citizens' group claims that this is not a realistic plan. which of the following, if true, best supports the claim of the citizens' group? aharvesting oak and hickory will disrupt the soil in the first year after clear-cutting; oaks and hickories cannot germinate that first year. boak and hickory are late-successional species; pioneer species will dominate for many decades before the oaks and hickories are reestablished. cconiferous forests can regrow after having been clear-cut; the biome will change to a boreal forest after clear-cutting. dpopulations of large carnivores in the forest will decline after clear-cutting occurs; deer hunting will suffer as a result. eerosion rates on the slopes of the appalachian mountains will decrease after clear-cutting; many new species will move into the forest.
