What affects does global warming have on terrestrial ecosystems.?
today all are affected by global warming. terrestrial ecosystems are worst effected. Climate change means longer and colder winters followed by longer and hotter summers which has lead to the the death of many people. Longer and warmer summers increase the reproduction cycle of microbes, microorganisms and their vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Increased numbers of pathogens and their carriers can result in increased opportunities for infection ranging from colds and influenza to dengue fever and malaria. Many plants and animals have already begun to respond to the changing climate.some hibernating animals have been observed to wake up earlier or to stop hibernating all together. These animals require food when they are awake, and this need to eat endangers the animals since the food may not be there. It also puts them in competition with other species in need of the same scarce food resources.
