How Terrestrial Biodiversity Influences Aquatic Diversity

|

Beyond Boundaries: How Land and Water Ecosystems Are Connected There is an intrinsic link between the land and all waterways. The air, land, and water cycles influence each other. The continuous movement of water through each of these cycles is important for planetary health (NASA, n.d.). Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and runoff are some of the […]

The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity Loss

|

Climate change has been identified as one of the biggest causes of biodiversity loss (Yousefi et al., 2019). The IPBES (The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) reported that species are going extinct 10–100 times faster than the natural rate of the past 10 million years. Around a quarter of animal and plant

Impacts of Ocean Acidification: A Growing Threat to Marine Life and Biodiversity

|

Introduction The rising level of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has disastrous effects on the climate and Earth’s largest ecosystem, the ocean. 30% of current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere are absorbed by the oceans (Shadwick et al., 2023). Thus, substantially moderates the effects of climate change globally. However, it causes a

Reducing Roadkill: Infrastructure Innovations to Improve Habitat Connectivity

|

The Roadkill Problem: A Threat to Biodiversity Human infrastructure poses significant risks to biodiversity and the creation of Strong Sustainability. This infrastructure creates alien environments that most animals cannot comprehend. The biggest infrastructure threat to wildlife is roads, which affect approximately 20% of the total land area in the United States (Federal Highway Administration, n.d.).

How Waterway Pollution Fuels Extreme Weather and Climate Disasters

|

Introduction Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Extreme weather makes water scarce, less predictable, and more polluted (UN Water, n.d.). Waterway pollution is becoming a critical global concern as climate change intensifies extreme weather events. Storms, floods, and hurricanes are now more frequent and more destructive, placing immense pressure on natural and built water systems.
