(Introduction) Abiotic Factors of an Ecosystem
Abiotic factors like burning of fossil fuels, increased carbon dioxide, dissolved carbon dioxide, decreased pH of the ocean, is how ocean acidification is affecting biotic factors of the ocean. Overtime as more abiotic features increase it affects the levels of the ocean. -
Burning of Fossil Fuels
Human activity has increased the levels of carbon dioxide over the years. Fossil fuels are the main cause of the rise in levels. As us humans cause this pollutant in our atmosphere it leads to global warming. Global warming heats up the ocean lowering pH levels. -
Increased Carbon Dioxide
The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide which leads to affect its biotic factors. When affected biotic factors create carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is a carbon oxoacid and a chalcocarbonic acid. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. Carbonic acid create what is called acidification on the coral. -
pH in the ocean
pH levels from 1800 has changed since industrialization and new construction. 8.0 to 8.3 are the average numbers of pH in the ocean. As pH decreases and begins to get worse over time scientists predict it will be less in 2100. A healthy pH for the ocean would be 8 because it falls good on the pH scale however, the ocean is getting a lower pH rate for the ocean. -
Ocean Acidification
Ocean Acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean Acidification causes an affect on the carbonate. Less carbonate in the ocean affects the development of many sea animals, and causes them to have weaker shells, causing them to die and no longer sustain the environment. Along with causing coral bleaching, it allows corals to become inhabitable for the environments abiotic and biotic factors. -
Coyotes in the City
For the coyotes, us humans are invading their environment and home, and they are unable to live in an ecosystem that displays homeostasis because they're territory, water, and nutrients are being taken over. In the ocean, pH and carbon dioxide affects how abiotic and biotic factors live in the ocean. Along with affecting the temperature and levels of acidity. Both ocean and coyotes ecosystem are being affected by outside factors
