Students are required to know the following;
7.3.3 Humans reduce the amount of land
available for other animals and plants by building, quarrying, farming, and dumping waste.
The destruction of peat bogs, and other areas of peat to produce garden compost, reduces the area of this habitat and thus the variety of different plant, animal, and microorganism
species that live there (biodiversity). The decay or burning of the peat releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
7.3.4 Large-scale deforestation in tropical areas has occurred to:
• provide land for cattle and rice fields
• grow crops for biofuels.
