Eliminate

BHerbivores would be forced to change into carnivores.
CThe flow of energy in the ecosystem would be affected.
DThe exchange of carbon dioxide in the ecosystem would increase"

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is option C

If the forest cover in an ecosystem is reduced from 50% to 20%. The most likely effect is that the flow of energy in the ecosystem would be affected.The forest means the green plants that are also known as the producers of the ecosystem and they transfer energy to the consumers and the ecological balance is maintained. If there will be less producers then the flow of energy in the ecosystem will be affected.
