The correct answer is: a) Forest fragmentation.<\/p>\n
Shifting cultivation, also known as jhum cultivation, is a traditional agricultural practice that involves clearing a piece of land for cultivation, then abandoning it and moving on to a new piece of land after a few years.

One of the most serious impacts is forest fragmentation. When land is cleared for cultivation, it creates a gap in the forest canopy. This can lead to a number of problems, including:<\/p>\n
In conclusion, shifting cultivation can have a number of negative impacts on the environment, including forest fragmentation. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed if we want to protect our forests and the biodiversity they support.<\/p>\n
