How is biodiversity in the biomes being affected?

Question 1

Boreal forest - over-exploitation

Answer 1

Continuing impact, this means that species such as the northern hawk and woodland caribou are going to be threatened.

Question 2

Boreal forest - pollution

Answer 2

Very rapidly increasing - this will increase climate change which will alter habitats and move tree lines north. Animals and plants may not be able to adapt in time.

Question 3

Tundra - climate change

Answer 3

Very rapid increase which will have a high impact on biodiversity - extensive melting of ice, danger to species who rely on the ice for habitats. But permafrost melting allows for more plant growth - agriculture may be possible and methane is released.
The Koppen climate classification Tundra climate area has shrunk by 20% since 1980.

Question 4

Boreal forest - climate change

Answer 4

Very rapid increase of the impact of climate change - biodiversity will be altered negatively because it will cause habitat destruction and some species will not be able to adapt.
