KEY CONCEPT Pollution of Earth’s freshwater supply threatens habitat and health.

Water pollution affects ecosystems. Pollution can put entire freshwater ecosystems at risk.

Indicator species provide a sign of an ecosystem’s health. amphibians top predators

Biomagnification causes accumulation of toxins in the food chain. Pollutants can move up the food chain. predators eat contaminated prey pollution accumulates at each stage of the food chain Top consumers, including humans, are most affected.

Loss of habitat eliminates species Habitat fragmentation prevents an organism from accessing its entire home range. occurs when a barrier forms within the habitat often caused by human development
