too drastically. There are both natural and human induced stresses. An ecosystem is the dynamic complex interaction of plant‚ animal and microorganism communities and their non-living environment as a functional unit. Ecosystems include the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) elements of the environment and the relationships between the components. For the correct functioning of ecosystems it is imperative that the dynamic equilibrium (balanced change) is kept under control A number of factors

2014 Global Climate Change: Causes and Effects The Earth goes through natural phases of warming and cooling‚ due to changes in the Sun and volcanic activity. During these changes‚ the temperature fluctuates a little bit. However‚ the drastic incline in the temperature of the earth over the past century cannot be explained by these natural causes alone. What could have had the power to cause this drastic change‚ and what effect will this have on our planet in the future? Humans have had a large impact

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS ON THE CHAPPARAL Global climate change has been a subject of much discussion for some time now. The earth has naturally gone through heating and cooling phases in its lifetime. Most scientists agree that these changes aren’t solely the product of humans‚ but that the time required for natural climate change has been decreased due to humans. This has led to new problems for the earth and all of its inhabitants. According to research the earth is warming at an average

Effects of Human Activities on the Lake Ecosystem I. Introduction On the first exercise of the Environmental Biology class‚ the students have learned what an ecosystem is and what its significance to the survival of the living and non-living are through analysis of forest and agro-ecosystems. The ecosystem as the basic unit for ecological study (Evans‚ 1956) consists of the complex of interacting organisms inhabiting a region with all the non-living physical factors that make up their environment
