Threats to Biodiversity

Extinction Rates The gradual process of species becoming extinct is known as background extinction Mass extinction is an event in which a large percentage of all living species become extinct in a relatively short period of time

Threats to Biodiversity The current high rate of extinction is due to the activities of a single species—Homo sapiens Humans are changing conditions on Earth faster than new traits can evolve to cope with the new conditions

Threats to Biodiversity Overexploitation Habitat Fragmentation Habitat Loss Pollution Destruction of Habitat Acid Precipitation Disruption of Habitat Eutrophication Introduced Species

Threats to Biodiversity (don’t need to write down) Acid Precipitation Sulfur and nitrogen compounds react with water and other substances in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid Acid precipitation removes calcium, potassium, and other nutrients from the soil, depriving plants of these nutrients

Threats to Biodiversity (don’t need to write down) Eutrophication Occurs when substances rich in nitrogen and phosphorus flow into waterways, causing extensive algae growth The algae use up the oxygen supply during their rapid growth and after their deaths during the decaying process Other organisms in the water suffocate

Threats to Biodiversity Introduced Species Nonnative species that are either intentionally or unintentionally transported to a new habitat Introduced species often reproduce in large numbers because of a lack of predators, and become invasive species in their new habitat
