Title: Climate change disturbs biodiversity in different ecosystems
●
Introduction/Background
○ It is well known that climate change and biodiversity are interrelated. Rapid
climate change affects the ability of species to adapt and alters multiple
ecosystems, negatively impacting biodiversity.
○
●
Ecological Impact/ Example #1
○ Example of impact – can be pulled from research paper (with at least two
supporting citations)
●
Ecological Impact/ Example #2 – climate change impact desert species (Mina)
○ High soil surface temperature can cause nitrogen loss and the reduction of
nitrogen further contributes to a decline in plant species and affects food
resources in the desert.
○ Desert birds are reaching their physiologic thresholds, a decrease in rainfall
was the driving culprit of those birds declining decrease in rainfall affects food
supply of avian communities.
●
Ecological Impact/ Example #3- Climate change causes a high mortality rate in coral
reefs. (Sonya)
○ Increased carbon dioxide emission from human activities resulting in increased
temperature causes corals to respond by mass coral bleaching. Examples of
coral bleaching can be seen in the Great Barrier Reef. (Hoegh-Guldberg et al.
2017)
○ Coral reefs are not as healthy and colorful as they used to be. Corals and fish
species that occupy the reefs are much less abundant compared to just a few
decades ago (Bruno et al. 2008).
○ High water temperatures are more willing to influence coral disease by
increasing pathogenic abundance or virulence (Miller et al. 2009).
●
Ecological Impact/ Example #4 (Chris)
○ Australian Rainforests are declining in size due to anthropogenic climate
change. Animal populations are having to migrate or relocate, causing
endangerment of keystone species and increase of invasive species.
○ Rainforests are declining in size and organisms cannot adapt quickly enough to
keep up with changing landscapes.
●
Ecological Impact/ Example #4 (Eidy)
○ Climate warming causes dissolved oxygen (DO) in lakes to decline.
○ Low levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) caused by warmer water temperatures
shows that freshwater habitats such as ponds and lakes have become
increasingly inhospitable for animals with aerobic metabolism, which include
fish, amphibians, birds and mammals.
●
Conclusion: Solutions/Future Directions of Research
○ Climate change
