Habitat loss, soil erosion, and air pollution are disadvantages of which renewable energy source?

Answer 1

Probably biomass burning.

When more and more plants or trees are grown for biomass fuel, other ecosystems are pushed out and burning biomass does result in significant habitat losses. If biomass growing is not managed properly, it can also cause soil erosion.

As burning biomass releases certain air pollutants—CO2 in particular—it is theoretically possible for biomass to be "carbon neutral" at least in theory if more plants are grown, which would absorb a comparable amount of the CO2 released during burning.
