Ecosystem change due to climate change |

Hello . And in this report I will tell you about global warming and its consequences. Global warming is likely to affect terrestrial ecoregions. Rising global temperatures mean ecosystems will change; some species are forced to abandon their habitats (perhaps before extinction) due to changing conditions, while others thrive. Other effects of global warming include declining snow cover, rising sea levels, and weather changes that can affect human activities and the ecosystem. Studying the relationship between Earth's climate and extinctions over the past 520 million years, scientists at York University write: ¡°Global temperatures predicted for the coming centuries, could provoke a new "mass extinction", when more than 50 percent of animal and plant species will be destroyed. " Many species at risk are from arctic and antarctic fauna such as polar bears and emperor penguins. In the Arctic, the waters of Hudson Bay are free of ice for three weeks longer than thirty years ago, which affects polar bears who prefer to hunt on sea ice. This can negatively affect species that rely on cold weather, such as the gyrfalcon and snowy owls that hunt lemmings, which take advantage of the cold winter. Marine invertebrates reach their peak growth at temperatures to which they have adapted, and cold-blooded animals in high latitudes and at altitudes usually grow faster to compensate for the short growing season. Warmer than ideal conditions lead to a higher metabolism and, as a consequence, a decrease in body size, despite the increase in the amount of food, which in turn increases the risk of attack by predators. Indeed, even a small increase in temperature during development reduces the growth efficiency and survival of rainbow trout. The increase in temperature begins to have a marked effect on birds, and the butterflies have shifted their ranges northward by 200 km in Europe and North America. The migration range of larger animals may be limited by human development. In the UK, spring butterflies appear on average 6 days earlier than two decades ago. I think this topic is very significant.

Hello Ilona!
It's your SJ mentor.
Thank you for sharing your report about climate change.
So many outcomes are bringing regardless of degree.
A lot of species are getting endangered due to human??s action accelerating global warming.
We must sustain biodiversity to be devastated our land and ocean.
It is crucial for us to recognize the situation precisely.
I hope everything will come out all right.
Best regards,
SJ mentor.

Thank you for sharing your report on impact of climate change. Extinction of different animals birds and habitat loss occur due to climate change which indirectly affect our ecosystem.
Keep writing such informative report.
Green cheers!

Hello Ilona,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Due to climate changes, there are some big shifts in season, animal/ plant's growth and flowering season etc.
In case of South Korea, cherry blossoms have bloomed about 6 days earlier than the last year.
Animals are migrating to find another optimal habitat, and during that process, a lot of them die due to lack of food or because they get attacked by their predator.
Some animals do not have enough time to change their fur/skin color for protection, and they get eaten by their predators too.
These problems would lead to extinction of many animals,
so the climate change effects should be mitigated.
I think your report is very interesting and significant.
Thank you for sharing it
But please remember to write the references when using quotations of another article.
Regards,
WooJoo

Hello Ilona Poplavskaya,
Greetings from Nepal!
I hope you are all good.
Firstly thank you for sharing such an informative report regarding global warming. The issue of global warming is becoming threatening for the existence of living organisms and itself bad for the environment as well.
Keep sharing more and more.
With Regards,
