Introduction of Exotic Species Human Impacts Global warming Acid Rain Introduction of Exotic Species Habitat Destruction Overharvesting

Global Warming How is this problem created?

Effects

Global Warming vs. Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is the natural process that is unique to our planet This process makes our planet warm enough to support life The problem with global warming is too many greenhouse gases are being unnaturally produced by humans

Acid Rain Damages leaves Releases toxic substances from soil compounds that are taken up by plant roots Lowers pH of soil and streams, lakes, and rivers which also affects aquatic life

How is it formed?

Leaf damage

Introduction of Exotic Species Introducing non-native plants or animals into new habitats What’s wrong with that?

Habitat destruction http://www.fws.gov/nc-es/mussel/carolheel.html http://www.wcnc.com/news/countybycounty-union/stories/wcnc-ad-6_30_06-mussel.11b3619d.html

Over-harvesting Taking too many organisms from a particular habitat May lead to extinction
