Background The world is in a constant change‚ and with it‚ every living being adapts to these changes. Ecology plays a major role in how the world and its inhabitants work. Before we start‚ to have a deeper understanding‚ let us define ecology. So what is ecology? In University of Western Cape’s introduction of their botany course‚ they defined ecology.

Reservoir defined The word reservoir refers to a place where large amounts of water get stored. The word reservoir comes from the French réservoir‚ which further derives from the Old French reserver‚ meaning "to reserve." Reservoirs are those water bodies formed or modified by human activity for specific purposes‚ in order to provide a reliable and controllable resource. a water body contained by embankments or a dam‚ and subsequently managed in response to specific community needs; or any natural

The physical environment includes light and heat or solar radiation‚ moisture‚ wind‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ nutrients in soil‚ water‚ and atmosphere. The biological environment includes organisms of the same kind as well as other plants and animals. Because of the diverse approaches required

precipitation shifts directly affect biota‚ and scientists think that as the climate continues to change‚ the biodiversity in Northern Canada is particularly at risk. Because global warming can result in the decreasing of marine‚ freshwater and terrestrial communities‚ climate change has negative influences on biodiversity in Northern Canada. In order to conserve the biodiversity and improve the global warming‚ Canadian governments and schools have devoted to take actions on climate change. Climate
