Biodiversity and Climate Change

This presentation discusses the impact of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem. It explores the positive and negative effects of climate change on various species and the measures taken to preserve biodiversity. The presentation also highlights the relationship between climate change and species extinction.

Biodiversity basically means
the various type of plant and
animal life living in a specific
habitat which is acknowledged
as most desirable and
essential. It is the most
important part of ecosystem
structure and provides human
with variety goods and
services through natural
system. Biodiversity has a
huge influence on the
ecosystem.
INTRODUCTION

Climate change can have
both positive and negative
impacts on biodiversity.
There lies a great evidence
that change in weather and
pollution have a combine
impact on extinction of
various type of species or
animals. It is modifying the
situation and condition of a
biotic situation that lays
effect on systems of biology,
processes and procedures.
Impact of climate change on biodiversity

 It also leads to extension of some species which can hamper
the overall level or structure of biodiversity. The alteration in
seasonal plus annual weather condition is also responsible for
alteration in composition of community.
Cont..

All these natural calamities leads
towards disaster of an era. It makes
survival most difficult for any living
organism. Mostly climate change
occurs because of pollution that can
be air, water or sound.
Effect on human population

It impacts there health and
quality of life largely. It is one of
the major reasons for various
diseases like lung and
respiratory that exists in the
environment. Also, it lays
negative impact on the animals
and plants.
Cont..

Also, it lays impact on increase
in mortality rate of specie that
dis-balances the ecosystem. It
has been analysed that various
species have been lost because
of these changes or alteration in
weather. Rise in stratification of
ocean or sea level also lays a
major impact on the
biodiversity as well as
ecosystem.
Cont..

It has been analysed that many
species are transferring their habitat
or geographical areas in which they
live to a different place due to a rapid
change in climatic conditions. For
example 14 out of 28 mammals have
shows upward alterations in limits of
elevation.
Shifting of species

In order to established
population in new
regions and adopt
environment easily
natural resource
manager have to
implement new ways
so that environment
and natural species can
be preserved quiet
well.
Cont..

This can occur because as a result of
change in climatic conditions and
other hazardous activities that
persists in an environment. For
example southern and another flying
squirrels are a perfect example for
species that have adopted
interspecific hybridization process.
Cont..

It might happen due to dis balance
in ecosystem growth of various
plants are also affected. This can
lead to loss in supply of oxygen
and increase in mortality rate of
human population. Also, due to
varied climatic changes there
might also occur a situation where
the demand and supply of food by
species such as herbivores and
carnivores are not met.
Cont..

The presence of species which are
new can lead to rise in species
which are local in nature. This has a
negative impact as increase in
beneficial for environment and
ecosystem but it largely affects the
food life cycle or food dynamics. By
this there might occur chances that
several species are left with little
food or have no food. It impacts
there living conditions negatively.
Cont..

It has been analysed that climate
change has both positive and
negative effect. The positive
change in climatic condition on
biodiversity is that rise in
temperature and more creation of
carbon dioxide can be benefited to
various plants as they inhale
carbon-dioxide and exhales
oxygen. It also results in
acceleration in production of
biomass.
Impact of climate change on ecosystem, ecosystem
services and future of biodiversity

Human can support in
preserving the ecological
system by adopting the
strategies that brings advantages
to biodiversity and assists in
adopting to the changing
environment. Adopting these
approaches means to identify
the impact of change to
biodiversity and ecosystem.
Use of various strategies

Human population can also be involved in conserving the
biodiversity. This can be challenging for them to achieve
conversational targets for some high vulnerable species. In
order to achieve this authority has also implemented
several rules, policies and procedures related to this.
Measures taken by humans

 There are various
elements in climatic
change which increase the
presence of CO2 in the
environment which is
beneficial for the plants as
it increase the biomass
production. Temperature in
milder winter helps
different species for
survival.
Cont..

Large -scale correlative
prediction does not take into
account about different
inherent vulnerability. There
are various reports prepared
for calculating various
greenhouse gas emission
such as Global biodiversity
outlook scenario and many
more. Climatic change have
its impact on various sea ice,
lakes and coastal ecosystem.
Cont..

There are different reasons of
biodiversity change such as
different species committed to
extinction. This extinction debt
differed from decades to
century. The main reason of
decline is species is extinction.
Cont..

Biodiversity
management is most
affected by climatic
change and thus to
protect it will need to
adopt wildlife
exploitations such as
fishery, forestry etc.
Cont..

Ecosystem services include strategies to control fast-
growing and pest outbreaks. Agronomy also include
finding solutions in raising competition for water between
natural and agricultural ecosystems.
There are many species and plant which depend upon
precipitation this in beneficial for them if there is an
increase in precipitation. To reduce the impact of climatic
change ecologist are providing scientific guidance in order
to develop conservation strategies
Cont..

From the above presentation, it has been summarised that
changes in climatic condition have a huge impact on the
bio-diversity and ecological system. Many species such as
plants and animals have been extinct because of these
alterations.
