Question

How does climate change affect organisms? Do some research and provide a scientifically documented example of an organism being affected by climate change. Could the observed effect be caused by something else? PLEASE CITE WHERE YOU GET THE INFORMATION.

Answer 1

Ans: Climate explains the atmospheric conditions of a particular area which including temperature, amount of rainfall, wind, humidity, barometric pressure and the solar radiation and the climate change tells any changes in the atmospheric conditions including temp, rainfall and storm frequency or the intensity. There is a change in the range or scope or the collection of organisms as plants and animals move as temps warm. Plant society in the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis. And the areas receiving huge amount of rainfall both soil erosion and flooding thus pollutes and affect the aquatic systems or the marine life. And thus the reduction in the productivity of aquatic life affects many other living organisms including plankton and terrestrial plant. And also due to changes in surface increase greenhouse gases there is an increase in the incidence of different types of cancer.

Spruce bark beetles recently become a major threat to millions of acres of trees in Alaska. The spruce bark beetle kill trees in large numbers. Recurring outbreaks have had disastrous effects on forest economy. As a result of climate changes, the warmer winters are unable to kill the beetles and speedup their metabolism and rate of reproduction and thus reduction of forest in Alaska region.
