Perhaps the greatest threat to organisms and biodiversity is the process of habitat loss.

This has resulted in a widespread loss of wildlife habitat.
Grassland soil is rich, and almost anything can be grown on it, this encourages farmers to destroy and build industrial buildings and properties.
Global warming also has a major impact in grasslands as it changes weather and rain patterns which dries the land, reducing nutrition and food for the agriculture.
Another threat is the development of urban areas which is giving a major impact on our loss of habitat.
Another factor of loss is when crops grow, pests travel to them and inhabit the agricultural land, eating the grass, brings diseases and leaves the land to a dry wasteland.]]> 2017-08-06 23:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211612 the impact on organisms s0u15923 https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211642 soul
Endemic organisms with limited ranges are most affected by habitat destruction, mainly because these organisms are not found anywhere else within the world and thus, have less chance of recovering. Many endemic organisms have very specific requirements for their survival that can only be found within a certain ecosystem, resulting in their extinction. Extinction may also take place very long after the destruction of habitat, a phenomenon known as extinction debt. Habitat destruction can also decrease the range of certain organism populations. This can result in the reduction of genetic diversity and perhaps the production of infertile youths, as these organisms would have a higher possibility of mating with related organisms within their population, or different species. One of the most famous examples is the impact upon China's giant panda, once found across the nation. Now it is only found in fragmented and isolated regions in the southwest of the country, as a result of widespread deforestation in the 20th century.[5]

"Grasslands are one of Melbourne's most at-risk ecosystems," said Mark McDonnell, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens' Australian Research Centre for Urban Ecology.

THREATS
  • Weed invasion
  • Infrequent fire regimes that inhibit growth of diverse flowering herbs
  • Altered nutrient levels that favour weed growth.

  • Larger population which chains on needing more housing to house those humans which destroys habitat and animals lose habitat for humans housing.


  • European settlers found that the expansive grasslands provided good grazing and were easy to convert to cropping and improved pasture.

The Striped Legless lizard is a endangered species, it measures to 30 cm long and is as thick as your finger. The largest known location of this lizard is living at our back doorstep.

They are now the No. 1 most critically endangered. With only 4.5 percent left is Victoria. Out of 21000 square kilometers today there are only a few thousand square kilometers left. They were the early settlers' favorite because that meant farming straight away. And more were wiped away for suburban development and for industrial development. And more were wiped as new species were introduced. ]]> 2017-08-06 23:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211703 not from wikipedia s0u15923 https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211725 soul
Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to species. The world's forests, swamps, plains, lakes, and other habitats continue to disappear as they are harvested for human consumption and cleared to make way for agriculture, housing, roads, pipelines and the other hallmarks of industrial development. Without a strong plan to create terrestrial and marine protected areas important ecological habitats will continue to be lost.

Forest loss and degradation is mostly caused by the expansion of agricultural land, intensive harvesting of timber, wood for fuel and other forest products, as well as overgrazing.]]> 2017-08-06 23:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211777 Herd of Wildlife - Pam & Merylin wea0001 https://padlet.com/s0u15923/vaopfirk1p1g/wish/180211844 Grassland are home to many familiar and fascinating species that live in herds, including zebras and antelopes, and the predators that prey on them, like lions and cheetahs.

Orangutans and other species lose habitat to palm oil plantations
Palm oil plantations in the tropical regions of Africa, Latin America, and Asia have led the large scale destruction of important habitat  for many species. The largest growth of palm oil plantations has been in Malaysia and Indonesia where large tracts of rain forest are cleared to grow palm oil crops. Orangutans, tigers, elephants, rhinos, and many other species are increasingly isolated and their sources of food and shelter are in decline. Human-wildlife conflict also increases because without sufficient natural habitat these species come into contact with humans and are often killed or captured.
