Which resources are described in the physical & biological resources section?

• A. Soils and topography; age, vegetation composition, and stocking density
• B. Only climate data
• C. Economic values of timber
• D. Harvest schedules and contracts

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is distinguishing physical and biological resources: physical resources are the non-living parts of the environment (soils and topography), while biological resources refer to living forest components (stand age, vegetation composition, and stocking density). So, the option that lists soils and topography along with age, vegetation composition, and stocking density best describes both aspects. The other choices don’t fit because they focus on climate data, economic values, or harvesting contracts, which are not described as physical or biological resources.
