How does climate change affect ecosystems?

Can you explain how climate change affects ecosystems?

Climate change impacts ecosystems by altering habitats, affecting species distribution, and disrupting food chains.

What specific ecosystems are most affected?

Coral reefs, forests, and wetlands are among the most vulnerable ecosystems due to rising temperatures and sea levels.

How does this impact biodiversity?

Loss of habitat and changing conditions can lead to decreased biodiversity, as some species may not adapt quickly enough.

Are there any positive effects of climate change on ecosystems?

Some ecosystems may experience temporary benefits, like increased plant growth in certain areas, but these are often outweighed by negative impacts.
