         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>SUMMARY: </strong>The population of humans are increasing. Therefore, the more humans there are, the more resources are being used. Humans constantly consume resources for their own needs, such as animals, fish, wood, and plants, which reduces the resources for other organisms. Humans also destroy natural landscapes. This displaces residing species, reducing available habitats and food sources. <strong><br>LINK: </strong><a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review">https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans destroy natural landscapes through the mining of resources and urbanization. This is harmful to ecosystems as it disrupts the habitats and the different resources species depend on to survive. In other words, a certain species might rely on one food source. However, through the mining or urbanization humans cause, that food source might disappear, placing the certain species in a struggle to find food. <br>https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Human population growth has grown to the point that there are 7.5 billion. In other words, humans are overpopulated. Needing more homes to live in is equal the increase in the amount of humans there are in the earth. This leads to deforestation, severely ruining an organism's home. More humans mean more amounts of food. More animals will be killed as a result. This has caused several extinctions, devastating the food chain/web. Sources on the earth is limited and with human overpopulation, there is not enough room to share with other organisms.<br><a href="https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/extinction/">https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/extinction/</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans are causing air pollution in ecosystems. Air pollution consists of chemicals that can harm plants and animals. We are causing this by the factories emissions from factories, cars, and planes. Additionally, when people smoke cigarettes, the smoke goes up into the air. When we cause air pollution to happen, we harm the wildlife. The air is not clean anymore which is bad for every organism to inhale. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans affect the by clearing trees. This is called deforestation. Humans clear forests as space is needed to build buildings. Deforestation can effect many things such as the biodiversity of a species, the atmosphere, and the soil. Different species eat different foods, but if trees are being cut down, the food source decreases causing a decrease in diversity. Trees are able to remove carbon dioxide from the air, but is they are being cut down, the carbon dioxide levels will not decrease. Studies have shown that 17% of greenhouse gasses come from deforestation. Finally, soil is affected. When trees are cut down, soil is exposed to more sunlight. This increases the soil temperature and oxidizes the carbon in the soil to carbon dioxide.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans affect ecosystems by damaging the environment. Methods such as, overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation all can also result in  extinction of species, in addition to the harmed environment. By using a large amount of resources, humans are limiting the supplies of animals living in the ecosystems they take from. <br>Link:<br><a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/topics/resource-library-human-impacts-environment/?q=&amp;page=1&amp;per_page=25">https://www.nationalgeographic.org/topics/resource-library-human-impacts-environment/?q=&amp;page=1&amp;per_page=25</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One way that humans negatively affect ecosystems is through resource exploitation. Humans constantly use natural resources, preventing other organisms from using these resources for their own benefits. <br>Whether its trees, plants, or other organisms, humans are taking too much possession of these natural resources. Animals lose their habitats and food source, affecting the rest of their food web and ecosystem.<br><br><strong>LINK:</strong><br><a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review">https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans affect ecosystems by polluting the environment. Our use of fossil fuels releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap heat and cause a rise in temperature. This contributes to climate change. Climate change can affect an environment. It can affect an environment so much that the environment becomes incapable of supporting life. Populations can die out, which leads to a huge impact on biodiversity.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There are approximately 7.6 billion humans in the world. That is a lot of people.  This means that there more resources needed for each human being. This could also result in negative affects like more pollution. Although there are a lot of people taking care of our environment, there are also a lot of people harming our environment. This could result in things like climate change, or  disposal of chemical substances. This could result to the decrease in population of animals in our world. <br>LINK:<br><a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review">https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-ecology/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems/a/hs-human-impact-on-ecosystems-review</a></div>]]></description>

These activities include emissions of greenhouse gases, which traps heat traps heat in the atmosphere. Although some greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are vital, the increasing industrialization and burning fossil fuels along with deforestation has caused too much concentrations of greenhouse gases. <br><a href="https://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/sustainable-business-cases/s06-03-human-activity-impacts-on-ecos.html">https://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/sustainable-business-cases/s06-03-human-activity-impacts-on-ecos.html</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans affect the ecosystem in many good and bad ways.  So of the bad things they do are chopping down forests, and cars burning off greenhouse gases.  Chopping down the forest can destroy the homes of animals living there.  Driving cars and burning off greenhouse gases can cause air pollution.  Humans also help the ecosystem because they can clean up after themselves and they can plant trees.  If they clean up after themselves they lower the amount of population they put our.  Also by planting trees it can create homes for animals to live in.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans can affect the environment in many different ways. By chopping down trees, global warming becomes significantly more of a risk, because trees absorb green house gasses. Chopping down trees can also lead to little vegetation in forests. Humans are also killing a large population of Animals for products for Humans. To add on there is lots of pollution in the environment since Humans started have created factory industries.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The ozone layer is being destroyed. It protects us from the UV light of the Sun. Global warming is when greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. It can destroy us. We as humans can switch to electric cars, build less factories, and be smarter about air pollution and ground pollution. Not only that but deforestation has to happen for these factories to be built. Many organisms lose their habitats and suffer. <a href="https://www.nrdc.org/stories/global-warming-101#warming">https://www.nrdc.org/stories/global-warming-101#warming</a></div>]]></description>

Sadly, overpopulation has increased demands of tree based products. The demand for more trees has caused deforestation. Not only is deforestation affecting quality in air, it is also impacting water sources and carries from elsewhere. lastly, native species are losing their habitats and are affecting population size. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans are affecting the ecosystem by polluting the air. Air pollution harms the health of humans, plants, animals, and also damages buildings. Most air pollution is caused by humans, this can come from factories, cars, air plains, aerosol cans, and second hand smoking. this is most common in big cities. some short term effects are headache nausea, and irritation to nose, throat, eyes, and skin. long term can be heart disease, lung caner, and respiratory disease. Air pollution also harms plants and whole ecosystems. It can contaminate water, and soil, this can kill crops. This is also the cause of global warming. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/air-pollution/      </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One way in which humans affect the balance between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem is when they pollute the air. This pollution, which enters the air in several ways, can be in the form of gases, liquids, or solids; pollution from humans can be from emissions released from factories, cars, planes, or even aerosol cans, and cigarette smoke is also considered pollution. Air pollution does not only affect humans, causing them health issues, but also takes a toll on the environment. Hazy air pollution is able to muffle sounds, create acid rain, contribute to global warming, and bring suffering to animals. To begin, human-caused air pollution particles always are brought back to Earth and land on surfaces of water and soil, disrupting crops’ growth and/or killing them and harming organisms who drink from the bodies of water. Clearly, the life of the plants and other organisms are being harmed, upsetting the ratio and balance of biotic and abiotic factors. The acid rain (resulting from air pollution) also creates changes in soil, damaging plants, and decreasing water quality. Again, the population of plants and other organisms will decrease from being impaired by the damaged resources that they consume. Therefore, humans’ air pollution disturbs the balance between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans are a threat to the ecosystem because of their continuing increase in population which cause humans to use more resources and leads to decrease in the availability to the resources for other organisms, also many due to the need to feed the large population of humans, the population of producers and  other consumers are decreasing due to being used as food in large amounts, more than that because of the large population humans are continuing reform the habitats of other organisms into the habitats in which they could live which would again lead to a decrease in the population of some organisms and it would also cause a decrease in some of abiotic factors which stand in the way of human development, the example of that is the cutting down of forests. Humans also carelessly pollute their own environment, they pollute air, oceans, and the surface with the ongoing wastes left by their ongoing development which ruins the habitats of many organisms and causes a decrease in their chances of survival. Again due to being on the top of the food chain, and having a large population, humans are also damaging the food chain by significantly decreasing the populations of organisms that they use for food. Humans don't bring any benefits to the ecosystem in which they live, they are blindly destroying their own world for no reason that would give them an excuse.<br><br>https://onlinedegrees.kent.edu/geography/geographic-information-science/community/human-impact-on-the-environment</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans are affecting ecosystems by overusing and depleting many of the Earth's natural resources or food sources. Some examples of these acts are deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, and over fishing. These acts have caused an unbalance in the ecosystem where certain populations of animals have dwindled in terms of population because of shortages in food and natural resources. One example of this was in 1996 where the U.K. spent over $2.6 billion dollars in agricultural damage from human interactions such as erosion and greenhouse gases. As a result of this damage, crops have decreased in producing numbers causing many plots to be infertile. <br><a href="https://www.greenfacts.org/en/ecosystems/millennium-assessment-3/3-human-wellbeing-poverty.htm">https://www.greenfacts.org/en/ecosystems/millennium-assessment-3/3-human-wellbeing-poverty.htm</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Humans are affecting the ecosystem by polluting the environment. To give an example, air pollutants, such as sulfur may lead to excess amounts of acid in lakes and streams, and can damage trees and forests. Nitrogen in the atmosphere can harm fish and other aquatic life when deposited on surface waters. Also, humans are affecting the balance of biotic and abiotic factors by making negative impacts on the environment such as overpopulation. This can make changes in animal's habitat and the population which could lead to extinction. <br><a href="https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecosystems-and-air-quality">https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecosystems-and-air-quality</a><br><a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/topics/resource-library-human-impacts-environment/">https://www.nationalgeographic.org/topics/resource-library-human-impacts-environment/</a><br><br></div>]]></description>

Being over populated is a bad thing because more food resources would be needed and less amount of space. Pollution can effect any organism if they don't have clean and fresh oxygen. Global warming can effect seasons and animals and eventually humans. </div>]]></description>

Acts that humans pursue effect the reefs negatively: overfishing, cruise ships, acidification of the marine waters, etc. These acts are ones that humans do without second thought. However, destroying the coral reefs effects so many species globally. It is predicted that by 2050, one-fourth of the reef species will go extinct. The reefs provide shelter and ground for many species, without their habitat they will no longer produce the essential materials that support biodiverse ecosystems. Humans pursue these acts without a second thought even though it is so disruptive to so many species and their home. <br><br>https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/various-human-activities-that-affect-ecosystem.php<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>
