Impacts on a species or a non-living element may have long-term consequences for a river ecosystem. Agricultural intensification has resulted in nutrient and chemical loss to nearby rivers. Several key areas of human impact on rivers ecosystems are pollution.

The melting of the permafrost as a result of global warming could radically change the landscape and what species are able to live there. Ozone depletion at the North and South Poles means stronger ultraviolet rays that will harm the tundra. Air pollution can cause smog clouds that contaminate lichen, a significant food source for many animals.Exploration of oil, gas, and minerals and construction of pipelines and roads can cause physical disturbances and habitat fragmentation. Oil spills can kill wildlife and significantly damage tundra ecosystems. Buildings and roads put heat and pressure on the permafrost, causing it to melt.

This affects all biomes, including the desert. People have also drilled for many fossil fuels, such as oil, in the desert. This causes pollution and is harmful to the animals living near the oil wells. Humans have also taken sand from the desert and hunted animals in the desert. Because of this, several species of animals in the desert have become endangered or even extinct! If this continues, the desert may not even have any life! The desert biome is full of life such as bugs and reptiles, but humans may eventually destroy this ecosystem, harming the entire desert!]]> 2018-04-25 22:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455002 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455167 Humans have a lot of 'waste' that is often disposed of in the ocean - trash, sewage, oil, chemicals, heat, and even 'noise' to name a few. Beaches all over the world become littered with the trash produced by mankind - much of which is disposed of at sea and then floats all over the world in the currents. Most developed countries treat their sewage to get rid of harmful human bacteria and release relatively benign effluent into the oceans after treatment.  Several large oil spills have resulted from these two means (the Santa Barbara spill in 1969, and the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989. Pesticides, coming from runoff of agricultural land into the ocean damages marine organisms.]]> 2018-04-25 22:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455167 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455370 2018-04-25 22:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455370 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455438 2018-04-25 22:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455438 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455479 2018-04-25 22:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455479 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455513 2018-04-25 22:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455513 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455613 2018-04-25 22:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455613 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455686 2018-04-25 22:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455686 1026247498 https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455902 This affected me in a bad way because I saw what humanity has done to nature and will make sure I do everything I can to make it a little better. I could improve my life by being more earth friendly and not taking earth for granted because one of these days there could be an earth but no one would be able to breath and there would be a lot of radiation because of how much we polluted.]]> 2018-04-25 22:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1026247498/gn4wslkuihy7/wish/255455902
