APFIVE Calculating Species Richness Loss
Assume that for every 1,000 hectares of forest that are clear-cut, there is a corresponding 30% loss of species richness. If 3,000 hectares of this forest are cleared, what percentage of the original species richness is expected to remain?
A
$$100\% - 3*30\% = 90\%$$ remains
B
$$30\%$$ remains
C
$$100\% - 3*30\% = 10\%$$ remains
D
