How do ecosystems affect climate change?

Ecosystems play a crucial role in regulating climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and influencing weather patterns.

Can you explain how forests contribute to this?

Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 during photosynthesis, which helps mitigate climate change.

What about oceans? Do they have a similar effect?

Yes, oceans absorb a significant amount of CO2 and help regulate global temperatures, but they are also affected by climate change.

Are there any ecosystems that are particularly vulnerable?

Yes, wetlands and coral reefs are highly vulnerable to climate change, which can disrupt their ability to function effectively.
