Answer» D. ecological balance | |
Explanation: Ecological balance has been defined by various online dictionaries as "a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of organisms in which genetic, species and ecosystem diversity remain relatively stable, subject to gradual changes through natural succession." Afforestation is the transformation of waste-land into the forest or the woodland. It restores eco-logical balance of all ecosystems and maintains bio-logical diversity. |
