Disrupted Ecosystems


Almost all the natural ecosystems are endlessly changing. The type and amount of organisms in the ecosystem change because of the change in weather that the organisms have adapted to, for example heavy rain or protracted dry weather which change the convenience of food or the attendance of disease fullness organisms. These changes aren't eternal and the bionetwork usually recuperate over its time period. I learned that the earth's forest have a part in the process of storing carbon, and at the same time it provides protection for the habitat. Forest destruction advances both the impacts of climate change and biodiversity. Another thing that I learned is that in the highlands some species will have to move only a few meters up hill to find their new territories, but there's a problem when the animals on top of the mountain or on the highest places of the earth like the Artic need to find a more cooler climate. If the climate doesn't change for a period of time the ecosystem and species that live their learn to adapt with what they have to survive. But as the climate changes due to global warming these ecosystems and species are forced to continuously accommodate to different weather patterns and different climate change. Picture From Google.com
