Abiotic factors of an ecosystem
There are several abiotic factors in an ecosystem. One of the most significant is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide influences many things in the ocean, but it isn't the only abiotic factor in ocean trends. Some of the other abiotic factors are the ocean temperature, the pH levels, and acidity. More factors are pollution, current, and sunlight. -
Burning of fossil fuels
Carbon dioxide is one of the most prominent abiotic factors. The most common reason that carbon dioxide is released is by the burning of fossil fuels. People burn fossil fuels daily. The burning of it occurs too often and it is ruining our earth. -
Increased carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide releasing into the air has increased exceedingly over the years. This is mostly caused by the fossil fuels that are burned every day. The fossil fuels that humans burn raises the amount of CO2 to a harmful amount. The quantity of CO2 in the air will continue to affect and hurt our ecosystems. -
Dissolved carbon dioxide and decreased pH
While the CO2 in the air is rising, the pH is declining. The amount of carbon dioxide in the air is reducing the levels of pH and making our oceans way more acidic. The dissolved CO2 in the oceans makes it harder for animals to survive because the oceans becomes more acidic. -
Summary
The one lucid similarity between oceans and coyotes ecosystems is that they are being affected and destroyed. This is happening because of the main biotic factor, which is humans. Humans are damaging wildlife habitats. Us humans are building houses and buildings on coyotes homes. Humans make marine animals' homes exceedingly acidic. The world needs to reduce CO2 levels and need to stop ruining animals habitats. -
Ocean Acidification and how it affects the sea life
Ocean life is affected by ocean acidification daily. It affects corals, calcifiers, mussels, clams, and starfish. One of the greatly affected animals is sea urchins. The acidification degenerates their shells, hinders them from growing, and even kills them. This is a continuous dilemma and it occurs to many animals, not only the sea urchins. All of this is caused by ocean acidification.
