From an environmental perspective the Amazon is negatively affected from the burning of the trees which is polluting the biggest rainforest in the world with Carbon dioxide (Co2). Also, a lot of nutrients are being lost from deforestation and high quality soil is being wasted. Desertification is slowly happening in the Amazon and other rainforests. If deforestation continues the rainforests will start to lose bodies of water, as well as vegetation and wildlife. There are many problems that the rainforest biome encounters.
This combination makes waters toxic to crayfish, clams, fish, and other aquatic animals. It also affects the food sources of herbivores and insects. How does acid rain affect the environment? Acid rain has a hand in global warming as well which is rapidly changing climates around the world. With the climate changes many plants and animals are having to relocate or are dying because they are not fit for the changes in their surroundings.
This study is about the European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, L.), which is an invasive shrub to the woodlands of northeastern Illinois. The European buckthorn is detrimental to the environment because the shrub alters the soil properties where it resides, which forces the natural plant inhabitants of northeastern Illinois to adapt to the sudden change in soil properties. Due to the changes in soil properties, many of the natural plant inhabitants die from the high amounts of nitrogen and carbon the European buckthorn puts into the soil. This study was done mainly outside the lab in the woodlands of northeastern Illinois at three different sites, the Lake Avenue Woods, the East Woods in Morton Arboretum, and the Mary Mix McDonald Woods.

Climate Change and Human/Wildlife Health: Direct and Indirect Effects and The Greenhouse Effect By Emanuel Picon Climate change effects are activities that threaten human and animal health, such as habitat destruction and urbanization, and pollution. These human activities directly affect the ecosystem and indirectly affect human and animal health as well. Climate change can also be seen in physical and climate events, such as the El Niño and solar radiation that have large effects on the Earth’s climate and in humans and animals. A lot of evidence exists for climate bad effects on wildlife. Factors of concern, such as ecosystem composition and pathogen virulence, are said to be related to climate changes.
sd10/29/11 4th Period Chemistry EC Acid rain is any kind of precipitation with higher levels than usual of nitric and sulfuric acid contained in them. The causes for acid rain can be both natural and man-made, but the effect of acid rain is harmful in many different aspects. Acid rain is caused by chemical reactions, chemicals are released into the air, and they mix with precipitation and come down as rain. This can goHow acid rain starts How acid rain starts on for days, and spread far. Some natural causes for these chemical reactions include erupting volcanoes and rotting vegetation.
It also have some very harmful effects on humans and nature. It creates large amount of pollution, destroys the nature and also increases the diseases in human societies. As in documentary about “The Ethics of Fracking” by Marleen troy PhD (Environmental Engineer), Bernard Prausak and Rabbi Mordechai Liebling.
Global warming has been an issue since factories were introduced to this world; gases and toxins are being highly exposed into our atmosphere causing a tremendous reaction to the balance of nature. This is where one ecological system cannot function without the other throwing off the equilibrium in the world, and causes bad weather patterns. Scientists since 1970 have been warning the government that automobiles and factories are emitting a high level of
With the depletion of the forest that converts the carbon dioxide into oxygen it has monumental negative effects on the planet as a whole. “Eleven developing countries recently linked to 82 percent of the carbon dioxide buildup due to deforestation will likely come under the greatest pressure for change: Brazil, Indonesia, Colombia, Cote D’Ivoire, Thailand, Laos, Nigeria, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar (Formally Burma) and India”. (“cooper”) One of the major locations deforestation is in the south Asian country Thailand. “Located wholly within the tropics, Thailand encompasses diverse ecosystem, including the hilly forested areas of the northern frontier, the fertile rice fields of the central plains, the broad plateau of the northeast, and the rugged coast along the narrow peninsula.”(“Thailand”). Since the formation of the country Thailand
Technical Reporting Process Description The Process of Acid Rain Acid Rain is precipitation with high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. Natural causes can cause acid rain but most acid rain is caused by humans. Acid rain has many environmental effects but the most concerning is its impact on wetlands, streams, lakes and other aquatic environments. It is important to understand the process of acid rain because of its effects to wildlife, plants, and health to humans. The process of acid rain includes: natural or man-made sources, gases and particles in the atmosphere, dry deposition and wet deposition.
All these side effects if this keeps on going that chemical reactions are once in the atmosphere, it creates acid rain and smog for the climate. Other sources of air pollution can come from within buildings, such as secondhand smoke. Air Pollution is a global problem in all
