Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement says "except", which means we are looking for the option that is NOT a way in which the boreal forest biome protects us from harmful effects of global warming. The option that does not fit this criteria is C, as being fire resistant does not directly contribute to reducing global warming. A, B, and D are all ways in which the boreal forest helps reduce global warming by preventing the release of methane and storing carbon.
