Q5 When natural forests are commercially logged, how is their carbon storage capacity affected?

Carbon storage increases due to new growth
Carbon storage stays the same because new growth replaces the trees that are cut down
Carbon storage decreases because new trees don't grow as fast as old ones can be cut down


Q6 How do forests affect water runoff in catchment areas for urban water supply?

Water supply is higher in forested catchments due to evaporation and transpiration, which seeds clouds
Water supplies are lower in forested catchments than in cleared catchments, because the trees suck up the water for their growth
Water supplies are the same, whether in forested or cleared catchments, because the same amount of rain falls
