human impact on wildlife

Image
 positive- positive human environmental benefits include reforestation, the use of renewable energy, and the protection of natural preserves and forests to conserve biodiversity. The protection of habitats, as well as the support of protected growth of endangered species, has enabled certain ecosystems to survive and thrive. negative- Humans have a wide range of effects on the physical environment, including overcrowding, pollution, fossil fuel use, and deforestation. Changes like these have resulted in climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. historical - According to one study, early human ancestors who lived millions of years ago may have caused extinctions long before our species did. Researchers believe that the fall in large mammals observed in Eastern Africa may have been caused by early humans. Extinction rates began to rise roughly four million years ago. they think this because the carnivores and are early ancestors where in competition...

relationships within the ecosystems

Image
 ecosystems are made of various relationships between living organisms and their environment commensalism Commensalism is a symbiotic interaction between distinct kinds of organisms in which one (the commensal organism) benefits while the other remains unaffected and neither benefits nor harms. example-Commensalism may be seen in the symbiotic interaction between tiny birds and huge grazing animals. Small birds perch on the backs of huge animals that graze in grassy pastures. The action of the huge herbivores stirs up insects from the grass, which the little birds subsequently eat. Birds gain, whilst herbivores neither benefit nor are harmed. parasitism - Parasitism is a symbiotic connection in which one organism benefits while the other suffers. There are several types of parasitic partnerships, including obligatory, facultative, epiparasitism, ectoparasitism, and more. example- fungi attaches to the roots of plants and takes the nutrients from them harming the plant in the proces...

types of ecosystems

Image
  There is two types of ecosystems terrestrial and aquatic  A terrestrial ecosystem is a land-based population of species and the interactions of biotic and abiotic components in a particular area. These are types of terrestrial ecosystems  rainforest -  The tropical rainforest is a hot, humid ecosystem in which it rains all year. It is notable for its extensive canopies of plants, which are divided into three groups. The uppermost layer, or canopy, is made up of enormous trees that may reach heights of 75 metres or more. deciduous forest -  The deciduous forest is distinguished by trees that shed their leaves at the end of the growing season. boreal forest-  Boreal forest is a coniferous forest that grows on boggy land and is often coated in moss. Grassland   - The grassland biome consists of broad open of grassy areas. They are sustained by grazing animals and regular fires. Desert -  Desert ecosystems are dry environments with littl...
