By definition it is "a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants." Global Warming has left many animals without homes because of the polar ice caps melting. It also turns grasslands into desert and the few vegetation that grows on deserts isn't growing. ]]> 2018-04-25 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255064212 1026255836 https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255254713 Deforestation is something that has been a concern for many years but, we have done very little to improve it. Deforestation is one of the contributors of global warming. Deforestation is the action of clearing large areas of trees. It is affecting the Deciduous forest, Taiga/Boreal forest, and the Tropical forest. But, affect way more than that. ]]> 2018-04-25 14:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255254713 1026255836 https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255261724 Overgrazing is graze so heavily that the vegetation is damaged and the ground becomes liable to erosion. The reason that overgrazing is a problem is because everything within the biome affected relies on the trees. Or turns them into deserts. Overgrazing is affecting mainly grasslands and the temperate forest biome. ]]> 2018-04-25 14:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255261724 1026255836 https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255889797 Poaching/hunting is not a concern we hear everyday but it is a human impact. Poaching/hunting is illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights. The reason why it considered illegal is because it can put the animals at risk of endangerment. The mainly affected biome by this impact is the Savanna. It affects the biome because animals are part of the biome. everything has a natural balance but if something is removed it affects everything.]]> 2018-04-27 03:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255889797 1026255836 https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255891955 Overfishing is something that people are aware of but don't do anything about it. Overfishing is obviously affecting the ocean biome mainly. Overfishing by definition is deplete the stock of fish in (a body of water) by too much fishing. Overfishing is leaving a great unbalance in the ocean food web just to fit our demand. If we continue this pattern then we will eventually run out if fish.]]> 2018-04-27 04:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255891955 1026255836 https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255894879 There are many human impacts in the biosphere. We seem to not completely realize it because not a lot is being done. These impact will and are affecting us because we are part of the biome after all. We can start by going little actions like recycling more or not going to fast food restaurants as much. That's all it takes to fix our mistakes]]> 2018-04-27 04:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/1026255836/mxptfh8iyzyr/wish/255894879
