Answer 1

The major ill effect of monoculture practice in forests is on the biodiversity which faces large destruction.

Explanation:

Monoculture replaces diverse mixed-species forests with single-species stands, greatly reducing habitat and species diversity and making the ecosystem more vulnerable to pests, diseases and environmental change; this also disrupts ecosystem services that sustain wildlife and people.
