Question:

How can changes in climate affect the biodiversity? [Pg. No. 247]

Answer: Verified

Changes in climate can affect biodiversity by changing temperature, rainfall, humidity and seasonal patterns in different habitats. When these conditions change, many organisms may not get suitable food, water, shelter or breeding conditions. Some species may migrate to new areas, some may adapt slowly, while sensitive species may decline or become extinct. Climate change can also disturb food chains, flowering and pollination patterns, and the balance between predators and prey. Thus, changes in climate can reduce biodiversity and disturb the stability of ecosystems.
