Background Vast biodiversity is the key feature that makes Earth unique in comparison to other planets. Not only are there 7 billion people inhabiting the Earth, so are 9 million different types of plants, animals, protists and fungi. It was recognized in the 1980’s that species were being lost at rapid rates from ecosystems. It is known that all organisms play important roles within their ecosystems being that organisms interact with their ecosystem through feedback mechanisms (Cardinale, B. J., et al
The Effects of Greenhouse Gasses Global Warming has been devastating the earth and economy for the last twenty-five years. Greenhouse gasses developed from the production of chemicals such as R-22, oil, and factories have destroyed ozone and ecosystems for the last hundred years. Carbon dioxide is produced naturally and absorbed by plants and animals, but, too much, and it is deadly. With the increase in automobiles and production, the world government has begun to address the issue of greenhouse
changes to the worlds ecosystems and could involve key human health problems. There is worldwide scientific consensus and proof that climate change is real, evidence proves there has been 7 cycles of glacial advance and retreat, since the beginning of the modern climate 650,000 years ago. The evidence of our changing climate is from many forms of data collected over years ago [EV]. According to this evidence, we are exponentially increasing the rate of temperature at which Earth is heading for. Greenhouse
Aquatic ecology is the science of ecology which concentrates on the study of aquatic ecosystems. This field can be broken out into two divisions: freshwater and marine ecology. Understanding aquatic ecosystems is critical since water is the building block to the survival of all life on earth. Aquatic ecology includes the study of aquatic environments including oceans, lakes, ponds, wetlands, rivers, and streams. Every organism needs energy to live, grow and reproduce. In aquatic ecology, biologists
human health.These are all for the survival of mankind had a great influence. In fact, the natural environment is very important for people. However, the different kinds of environmental pollution has a serious harm on all fields such as ecosystems, humans and economies if we don’t solve them. I write this paper in order to attract more people’s attention and make them know that the impact of environmental pollution. And although almost every government tries its best to seek ways
Paper The effects of the Industrial Revolution did not wane with time, they grew exponentially, causing an unnatural amount of fossil fuels to be burned in the process. The use of fossil fuels in relatively modern has greatly increased the production of Carbon-dioxide which is a greenhouse gas and its subsequent absorption into the atmosphere. Carbon-dioxide, and various other gases, remain in the atmosphere for some time and heat up, therefore increasing the temperature of the earth. This increase
dioxide had a negative impact on the ecosystems of the planet. And the scientific definition of global climate represents changes in the earth’s weather and temperature. When higher greenhouse gas concentrates in the atmosphere, the earth becomes warmer. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane are the gases that lead to the greenhouse effect. Pollution of the earth causes damage to the ozone layer in the atmosphere, and it’s easy for the sun rays to pass in the earth. Global climate change causes a negative
Abstract The amount of waste created by the citizens of Earth cannot be sustained at the current rate of consumption and production. Together, the world generates 2.9 trillion pounds of waste of just food alone (Garfield, Gould, & Insider, 2016). The more developed countries, like the United States, generate ten times as much waste as underdeveloped countries like Saharan Africa. Land degradation, declining soil fertility, unsustainable water use, overfishing and marine environment degradation are
increase of temperature on Earth which is caused by human activities and will have very serious consequences for life on Earth if humans don't start to do something about it now. Global Warming is caused when the Greenhouse Gases combines with the atmosphere and traps heat. It is strongly related to pre-human and pre- industrial global warming, it is also weakly related to depletion of ozone layer, which was caused by the CFC (Chlorofluorocarbons) gas. The effects of global warming on the
An ecosystem is a natural unit, which consists of all living organisms in a specific area, in addition to the physical components among which organisms interact with (Reece, Taylor, Simon, & Dickey, 2011). An ecosystem provides beneficial services that help exhibit the interdependence between human lives and nature. The procedure of the ecosystem results in products that we need and use every day. By allowing the ecosystem to naturally advance, humans can gain great advantages for their daily lives
