Climate change alters the life cycle of animals on land as well as those below the Ocean ecosystem. For example, as temperature rise,some animals are waking from hibernation sooner or migrating at different times.Many plants began to bloom earlier in the spring and survive longer into the fall.Unfortunately, the animals and plants that can't migrate are suffering and even going extinct. The rise in global temperatures is affecting everything from animals metabolism to productivity, behaviour and habitats. Climate change has impacted plant growth as well,forcing changes like altering dates for wine grape harvesting. Climate change effects in the Ocean ecosystem with changing temperatures on land and in the sea, land animals aren't the only ones affected. Fish have to migrate further north to find colder water, and coral reefs are dying, which disrupt the entire food chain.
