https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu Why do we need to maintain biodiversity? How can we control invasive species without harming native organisms? en-us 2021-05-04 19:51:51 UTC 2021-05-10 22:49:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f98e.png https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510627431 We need to maintain biodiversity because it produces more ecosystem productivity then just one species. All species play an important part in ecosystems and removing it would reduce the productivity and food webs of ecosystems. We can control invasive species by increasing demand for them for human consumption. Another option is to create pesticides and chemicals specifically designed to counteract the invasive species.]]> 2021-05-10 18:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510627431 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510633987 Biodiversity needs to be maintained because it'll help control the number of organisms in each ecosystem, and there can be more than one species in the ecosystem. Something we can do to control invasive species without hurting the native organisms is take out the invasive species that is threatening the native species, and either sell them for human consumption, or move them to a different location. ]]> 2021-05-10 18:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510633987 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510703972 We need to maintain biodiversity because it gives the ecosystem capacity of different species, which every single one is a key to complete the ecosystem. To take control of the invasive species without harming native organisms is to try to stop them from continuing and growing. We need to start taking the species and removing them and cleaning the area up for whats best in order to not harm the native organisms.]]> 2021-05-10 18:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510703972 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510709129 We need to maintain biodiversity because it helps ecosystems to adapt through changes. We can control invasive species (that could limit the biodiversity in an ecosystem) by releasing chemicals that are only harmful to the species, selling species for food, or trying to contain them in one area. ]]> 2021-05-10 18:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510709129 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510710513 We need to maintain biodiversity, because it keeps environments safe and helps protect them against changes in the world around them, as well as it being beneficial to the earth. To control invasive species without harming the native animals, people can hunt the invasive animals and pursue measures that avoid them from being spread to different locations such as clean and properly examining machinery.  ]]> 2021-05-10 18:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510710513 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510711018 We need to maintain biodiversity because it strengthens the ecosystem. It creates a "safety net" when changes occur in the environment. In order to control invasive species without harming native organisms, we can eliminate them through hunting, or by using chemicals that only affect the invasive species. People can also sterilize them to decrease reproduction.]]> 2021-05-10 18:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510711018 jw29141 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510721067 We need to maintain biodiversity because it allows for an ecosystem to flourish. When there are more organisms in an ecosystem, working together with the right balance, every organism does well. We need to control invasive species because they treaten the balance and stability of an ecosystem. One way we can control invasive species without harming the native species is by finding a chemical that is poisonous to only the invasive species.]]> 2021-05-10 19:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510721067 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510733669 Biodiversity is important to maintain in ecosystems in order to allow species to grow and thrive. Ecosystems have evolved in a balanced manner for millions of years. Suddenly introducing new species, chemicals, or maybe even diseases, could have dire consequences, even destroying entire habitats or populations. In general, introducing completely new species to an area is a good idea because it is impossible to predict the effects it will have on the native ecosystem.]]> 2021-05-10 19:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510733669 tp9389 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510738803 We need to maintain biodiversity because it allows an ecosystem to be more resilient to threats. The denser the ecosystem, the less chance of the ecosystem collapsing due to one species being removed. 
To control the invasive species without harming the native organisms, we need to use chemicals that will only affect the invasive species, or kill the native species before it can reproduce again.]]> 2021-05-10 19:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510738803 jp58172 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510741879 We need to maintain biodiversity in order to sustain healthy environments, and allow species to thrive. In order to naturally create and maintain this biodiversity, we should try to be aware of what we are putting out into the environment, and what we are planting and releasing outside of our backyards. Additionally, we should consistently check in on the ecosystems and environment around us to make sure that no one species is growing too much and decreasing the biodiversity.]]> 2021-05-10 19:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510741879 ml41591 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510761791 In order to maintain biodiversity, we have to act against the actions that can ruin them. As we seen from the videos, one important loss can render an entire colony uninhabitable. This is most likely the result of pollution, invasive species, and more causes that can result in a catastrophic ecosystem failure. We should always monitor the grow rate and the area of invasive species, clean out pollution or prevent it from happening, and do our best to keep the oceans clear and clean, rich of life and activity. ]]> 2021-05-10 19:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510761791 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510764279 We need to maintain biodiversity because it is helpful to the ecosystems since it strengthens them against threats and change. Supporting ecosystems by encouraging genetic diversity, mix of species,and healthy ecosystems is good for humans and the planet. We can control invasive species without harming native organisms by limiting their spread/reproduction. Governments could fund programs aiding scientists to control the invasive species while keeping the balance with native organisms.]]> 2021-05-10 19:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510764279 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510764697 We need to maintain biodiversity to strengthen ecosystems so they are less susceptible to climate change and invasive species. Introducing factors like human development, climate change, and invasive species upset the balance of weak ecosystems, and may even totally destroy them. Therefore, to keep the Earth's ecosystems safe, humans must help ecosystems maintain biodiversity. We can control invasive species by using chemicals to harm them, but that solution also has its dangers. Increasing demand for them may incentivize humans to hunt them, decreasing their populations. Humans can also sterilize invasive species to try to control their growth and reduce the likelihood of more invasive species being produced.]]> 2021-05-10 19:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510764697 at7342 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510768033 We need to maintain biodiversity because with very biodiverse ecosystems, they are stronger as well. In less biodiverse ecosystems, something like disease or climate change, or introducing an invasive species can completely destroy an ecosystem. We can control invasive species by making them sterile, decreasing the reproduction of that species. We can also specifically kill that organism with traps, or a chemical that only affects that organism.]]> 2021-05-10 19:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510768033 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510768378 Biodiversity is important to maintain a balanced ecosystem. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms. Some species that lack genetic diversity are even more vulnerable to changes. So biodiversity is important to keep ecosystems in check and balanced. A way to keep invasive species in check is to create chemicals that are only effective on the species, therefore reducing the population of invasive species. Another way is to sterilize half the population of males therefore the birthrate is decreased by 50 percent.]]> 2021-05-10 19:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510768378 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510772487 We need to maintain biodiversity because it is crucial to maintaining healthy ecosystems.

Each species within has a specific role and function that makes the ecosystem stronger. Reducing the number of invasive species it ideal to controlling them. Some have manually taken the species away from its non-native environment, while others have used chemicals that can be toxic to only the invasive species.  ]]> 2021-05-10 19:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510772758 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510774790 We need to maintain biodiversity, because it strengthens the ecosystem against invasive species.

Biodiversity keeps environments in balance and creates a healthier, even a more visually pleasing habitat. We can control invasive species by, like in one video hunting some of those invasive species, or using chemicals deadly to the that specific invasive species but are not harmful to other organisms. ]]> 2021-05-10 19:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510777016 https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1510780315 We need to maintain biodiversity because it strengthens ecosystems and makes them less vulnerable to changes such as the loss of a species. We need to support ecosystems by encouraging ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and most importantly genetic diversity. Less bio diverse ecosystems are more susceptible to climate change and other threats. Humans need to be more aware of which species are native, and they need to be more careful about what they put into our ecosystems in order to help avoid invasive species.

The lack of biodiversity within an ecosystem weakens it and makes it susceptible to climate change as well as other environmental changes, and can lead to the loss of a certain component in the environment, undermining the whole ecosystem. Species that lack genetic diversity are more vulnerable to change as as well. Many factors such as invasive species threaten ecosystems, and without biodiversity, ecosystems are more likely to collapse and be greatly affected by these factors. We can control invasive species by sterilizing the males in the population, releasing chemicals harmful to only that species, and promoting the removal of those species through traps, hunting, or fisheries. Most invasive species are spread through humans, so we can help control the species by being careful when transporting water equipment and machinery.]]> 2021-05-10 22:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llobo5_2/vpjydhw5m1uq6zpu/wish/1511304314
