Climate change is affecting life in California's deserts. Scientists have found more dead desert tortoises than alive, and some lizard and insect populations have disappeared from areas they once thrived in. Birds are shifting to higher elevations as mountainsides grow hotter and drier. The Joshua tree is now threatened under the Endangered Species Act. National Geographic reports that the desert Southwest and Arctic are being impacted faster by climate change than anywhere else because they are extreme ecosystems. The document expresses concern about impacts to the desert being overlooked compared to polar regions, and gives examples of black-throated sparrows that failed to reproduce during extremely hot and dry years, potentially disrupting food chains. Solutions proposed include reducing fossil fuel

Food chain (1)
The document summarizes the food chain in the Mojave Desert ecosystem. It begins with producers like the Joshua tree and describes a typical 3-4 link food chain ending with predators like coyotes. However, man has replaced the wolf as the top predator through vehicles, negatively impacting wildlife. Some cities are using bridges and fences to help prey safely cross roads and preserve the food chain. Public education on the importance of maintaining the food chain is needed to address this issue.
The amazon
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, containing the largest river and source of fresh water. It is home to thousands of species, with new species still being discovered. However, deforestation is a major problem, with over 2.7 million acres disappearing between 2006-2007. This level of deforestation threatens over half of the Amazon rainforest by 2030 and the plant and animal species that live there. The destruction of the rainforest also negatively impacts indigenous populations and is removing an important source of potential medical discoveries. Solutions include education to increase awareness, government protection of the forest, and efforts of environmental organizations.
Ecosystems by Group1
An ecosystem includes all living and non-living things in a given area that interact with each other. Each organism has its own role, and ecosystems provide vital life-support services to humans like food, water, and air purification. However, ecosystems have been disrupted by both natural disasters and human activities.
Interactions in the ecosystem
The document discusses coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems. Coral reefs are formed from the skeletons of corals and house many marine species. Mangroves grow in intertidal areas and their complex root systems provide habitat for fish and protect coastlines. They demonstrate various types of species interactions including mutualism, parasitism, commensalism, competition, predation, and food webs. Activities help students learn more about these ecosystems and the importance of conservation.
Desolation Wilderness/ Mount Tallac Field Assignment
Rane Pakiz conducted research in June 2015 on Mount Tallac in the Desolation Wilderness area near Lake Tahoe. Samples were collected of the dominant rock types including granite, shale, schist, sandstone, and siltstone that formed during the Mesozoic era. Plant and animal species observed included Mariposa lilies, Applegate's paintbrush, lichen, ants, and evidence of bears and deer. The geology of the area and formation of Lake Tahoe was also researched through maps, photos, and literature cited.
Nowadays planet
Certain human activities like the emissions of greenhouse gases are significantly contributing to recent climate change and global warming, causing many animal populations to suffer as their habitats change. For example, the photo shows Pacific walruses forced ashore due to lack of sea ice, making them vulnerable with limited access to food and protection. If we continue causing climate change through our behaviors but do not take action to reduce emissions and protect habitats, all life on the planet, including humans, will face serious consequences. We must start saving our planet now through practical efforts before it is too late.
Eco system
An ecosystem is defined as the complex relationships between living and nonliving things like plants, animals, organisms, sun, water and climate that interact in a given area. There are two main types of ecosystems - terrestrial ecosystems which are land-based communities including tundra, forests, grasslands and deserts, and aquatic ecosystems which include freshwater habitats like lakes and rivers as well as marine habitats like oceans and reefs. Key components of all ecosystems include biotic factors like plants and animals, and abiotic factors like climate, sunlight, minerals and water.
Habitat destruction
Habitat destruction occurs for reasons like mining, logging, agriculture, and urban development. While it provides natural resources to fuel economic growth, it significantly harms the environment by causing species extinction and increased vulnerability to natural disasters. A balanced approach is needed where habitat destruction is minimized and restoration efforts like replanting trees and relocating displaced animals are undertaken to mitigate impacts on the environment.

The ocean final
The document discusses how little of the ocean has been explored, with 95% remaining undiscovered. It notes that more is known about other planets than the ocean floor. The ocean holds undiscovered species and historical artifacts. However, exploring the ocean is difficult and expensive due to issues like high water pressure. The document also discusses threats to the ocean like pollution, climate change, and how these impact both marine life and humans.
Our Environment( Science)
This document summarizes key aspects of the environment. It defines environment and discusses its biotic components like plants, animals and microorganisms, and abiotic components like sunlight, water and air. It explains the interrelation between these components through food chains and how damaging one element can unbalance the entire ecosystem. It also covers issues like air and water pollution, deforestation, and the effect of habitat alteration. The document advocates for conservation of natural resources and planting trees to strive for a better environment.
Future of our planet
The document discusses several issues related to environmental protection including water scarcity, pollution, threats to endangered species, and the most polluted countries. It notes that without action, many species could become extinct and drinking water may disappear. Specific threats are highlighted for rhinos, green-cheeked parrots, and various marine animals. The top 10 most polluted countries are listed with brief descriptions of pollution problems in places like Peru, Pakistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Russia, Indonesia, India, China, and the USA. Potential solutions proposed include habitat protection, pollution control regulations, sustainable tourism, and public education.
Presentation3
The document discusses how habitat changes from both nature and humans can negatively impact some animal species' ability to survive. Zoos help endangered animals by providing food, shelter, and care, and also help repopulate endangered species. Many zoos provide stimulating environments that promote animal well-being. The document suggests we should help endangered animals.
Environment
The document discusses the environment and what constitutes the environment. It defines environment as including living things and what surrounds them, including both living and non-living things. It notes that organisms interact with and change in response to their environment. It distinguishes natural environments from man-made environments and discusses the components of each. It then asks what environment the reader lives in and describes coastal plains, noting they provide fertile land and shelter for wildlife but are vulnerable to disasters.
Soil health is human health
The document discusses how conventional agriculture over the past few decades has led to nutrient depleted and biologically inactive soils. This has caused food to be significantly less nutritious, with nutrition levels declining by 70% compared to food from previous generations. Conventional fertilizers have harmed soil biology like earthworms and fungi that build nutrients. This has increased the need for chemical interventions and created toxic impacts on food, humans, and the environment. Transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices that remineralize soils and boost soil biology can improve soil fertility, food nutrition levels, and farm sustainability and profitability.
Unit 3 landscapes change.
Landscapes can be natural or man-made. Natural landscapes are formed by nature and include elements like relief, flora and fauna. Man-made landscapes are altered by humans through activities like agriculture and construction. Landscapes change over time through both natural processes like erosion and weathering, as well as human impacts such as building infrastructure. Governments establish national parks and protected areas to conserve landscapes and the plants and animals within them from harmful human changes.
CONSERVATION
IT IS ABOUT CONSERVING OUR NATURE. TRYING TO MAKE OUR EARTH A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, BY FULFILLING THE RESPONSIBILITES AS A GLOBAL CITIZEN
Research presentation
The document summarizes information about the Permian extinction event that occurred approximately 252 million years ago. It describes the extinction of over 90% of species on land and sea, including synapsids, sauropsids, ammonites, brachiopods, sharks, and rays in the seas as well as insects and reptiles on land. Potential causes that are discussed include severe volcanism, environmental changes from the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea, asteroid impact, or a combination of these factors. However, the exact cause remains unclear due to lack of evidence over the past 250 million years.
Gaia
The Gaia Hypothesis proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a complex system that helps regulate the environment and keep the planet habitable. This includes feedback loops where life influences factors like surface temperature, atmospheric composition and ocean salinity to maintain homeostasis. However, human activity is now disrupting these feedbacks through climate change, reducing biodiversity and emitting greenhouse gases in ways that could make the planet uninhabitable to most life by 2040 if changes are not made. Some see human space exploration as a way for the biosphere to multiply and reproduce itself on other planets, acting as Gaia's "spore."
Community Conservation Approach in the Mishmi Hills of Arunachal Pradesh
This document discusses establishing a community conservancy in the Mishmi Hills region to protect biodiversity. The Mishmi Hills are a biodiversity hotspot containing over 6,000 plant species and hundreds of animal species, including rare birds like Hodgson's Frogmouth and Ward's Trogon. The proposed conservancy would involve community participation to halt biodiversity loss through identifying threats, establishing salt licking places, and having a leader to guide conservation efforts. Local volunteers, women's groups, and school students would help support protecting species native to the region like the Mishmi Takin, Eastern Hoolock Gibbon, and Mechuka Flying Squirrel.
Detect research presentation 3
This document discusses several key environmental issues facing Hawaii, including ocean garbage, climate change, renewable energy development, and pesticide use. It notes that 15,000 pounds of trash was cleaned from Kamilo Beach and that trash patches in the ocean are pushed to shore. Climate change is increasing risks of sea level rise and coastal flooding in Hawaii, with one island already disappearing. Meanwhile, wind turbines may kill between 140,000 and 328,000 birds annually, though renewable energy development also brings environmental benefits. Pesticide use also poses issues for wildlife such as bees. In summary, the document outlines major environmental challenges facing Hawaii's ecosystems and identifies some tradeoffs of different energy and agricultural practices.

At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings.
We have already crossed four “planetary boundaries.” They are the extinction rate; deforestation; the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and the flow of nitrogen and phosphorous (used on land as fertilizer) into the ocean. Scientist shown human activities — economic growth, technology, consumption — are destabilizing the global environment,”
“What the science has shown is that human activities — economic growth, technology, consumption — are destabilizing the global environment,”
"Human security will be progressively threatened as the climate changes," the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCCC) warned in its overview report. The Pentagon agrees. "Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty and conflict,"
Scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings.

Presentation
Animals exhibit behavioral characteristics like adaptation, instinct, and learning that help them survive in their environments. Adaptation refers to changes in an organism that improve its ability to survive, such as dark coloring that camouflages animals or thick fur that insulates them. Instincts are innate behaviors like hunting that animals are born with. Learning involves behaviors animals acquire through experience to aid survival. These characteristics enhance animals' ability to obtain food, avoid predators, and cope with environmental challenges.

Geologic Time
The document describes the major geologic eras of Earth's history, including the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. It notes the types of life, landforms, and any major extinction events that occurred during each era. The Precambrian era saw the emergence of single-celled and then multicellular life. During the Paleozoic, hard-shelled creatures developed and land plants evolved as the continents merged into Pangaea. The Mesozoic was the age of dinosaurs until an asteroid impact caused a mass extinction. Finally, the Cenozoic is our current era dominated by mammals.
Ecology and ecosystem
The document discusses various topics in ecology including ecosystems, ecological succession, food chains, food webs, and different types of ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic ecosystems. It provides information on key concepts such as how ecosystems are defined, the process of ecological succession, how energy passes between producers and consumers in food chains and webs, and examples of different forest, grassland, desert and aquatic ecosystems. In the end, it emphasizes man's responsibility to conserve and protect ecosystems.

India's water pollution slideshow
Nearly 80% of India's sewer waste flows into rivers, lakes, and ponds like the Ganges River, which is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the world. Hindus consider the Ganges to have healing powers but drinking its water causes diseases like cholera and hepatitis. Open defecation is common and sewer cleaners must manually unclog pipes, resulting in 70% dying on the job. While India spends $1.1 billion annually on its space program, it needs solutions like improved sanitation and water treatment to address its severe water pollution problems.
Air Pollution - By: Marlen Mendoza
This document discusses air pollution in Southern California. It defines air pollution as gases, particles, fumes or smoke introduced into the atmosphere that are harmful. Both natural events like fires and human activities like burning fossil fuels and industry cause air pollution. Specifically in Southern California, air pollution is a major problem due to the large port and traffic in Los Angeles. Air pollution affects health and the environment, causing issues like acid rain, algae growth, and respiratory diseases. Reducing individual environmental impact through choices like recycling, public transportation, energy efficiency and electric vehicles can help address this issue.

Googles bay shore
Google plans to replace its current Silicon Valley headquarters, known as the Googleplex, with a new campus called Bay Shore in Mountain View, California. Bay Shore will feature soaring tent-like structures with translucent glass canopies under which will be modular sub-buildings that can be rearranged. The campus aims to minimize boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. It will provide bike and walking paths along with public shops and restaurants. The natural light and flexible workspaces are intended to promote collaboration among Google's employees while also helping the environment by reducing vehicle traffic and pollution. However, the project faces political challenges from the city of Mountain View which must approve it and is concerned about becoming overly dependent on a large tech company.

An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth's crust slip past one another, causing the ground to shake. Most earthquakes happen along the edges of tectonic plates that slowly move and bump against each other deep underground. Earthquakes can cause massive damage and loss of life, such as the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake in China that killed over 800,000 people. Modern solutions aim to better predict, withstand, and prepare for earthquakes to minimize harm.

Climate change is a change in global weather patterns caused largely by increased carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use. It is affecting the entire planet, causing temperatures to rise about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the past century. This warming causes issues like droughts, species extinction from heat, and rising sea levels that threaten low-lying countries like the Maldives, which could be completely submerged since most of its land is only 5 feet above sea level. Potential solutions include reducing the use of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions as well as choosing alternatives to driving like walking or biking.
Hurricanes
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds over 74 mph that occurs in the North Atlantic, Central America, and Pacific. They form over warm ocean waters and impact land through strong winds that can wipe out towns and cities. Hurricanes provide rainfall but also carry the potential for serious destruction, especially in highly populated coastal cities. Preparation by cities and citizens can help minimize casualties from hurricanes.
Solar Power
Solar power is energy obtained from sunlight that is converted into usable forms through solar panels. Solar panels either convert sunlight directly into electricity via photovoltaic panels or use it to heat water or other fluids for heating and washing via solar thermal panels. Germany is currently the world leader in solar power production and usage. While solar power provides renewable energy and reduces environmental impacts, issues include the large amounts of land needed for solar farms and hazardous materials used in panels that must be properly disposed of.
Food chain (1)
The document summarizes the food chain in the Mojave Desert ecosystem. It begins with producers like the Joshua tree and describes a typical 3-4 link food chain ending with predators like coyotes. However, man has replaced the wolf as the top predator through vehicles and hunting. This has endangered species like the desert tortoise and Joshua tree by disrupting the natural food chain. Some cities are trying solutions like wildlife crossings and fences to help preserve the food chain.

The ozone layer nq
The ozone layer is a deep layer located in the stratosphere that shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It contains 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere, residing 10-30 miles above the surface. The ozone layer plays a beneficial role by absorbing most UV-B radiation, allowing life on Earth to thrive. However, depletion of the ozone layer from CFC emissions and other chemicals has increased UV levels at the surface with harmful effects on humans, animals and plants. International agreements like the Montreal Protocol have aimed to reduce ozone depleting chemicals but more efforts are needed to balance natural ozone production and prevent further depletion.

The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Water is always changing states between liquid, gas and solid as it moves through this cycle, driven by energy from the sun. The water cycle is essential for life on Earth as it provides water for plants, animals, and ecosystems.
Plate tectonics
This document provides information about plate tectonics through 5 sections:
1) It defines plate tectonics and provides diagrams of Earth's layers.
2) It describes where plate tectonics is occurring globally and locally through examples.
3) It discusses how plate tectonics has affected life on Earth through changing environments and fossil evidence.
4) It notes there are still issues and debates around fully understanding the mechanisms driving plate tectonics and predicting impacts.
5) It argues more research across scientific fields is needed to better comprehend plate tectonics and issues like its relationship to volcanism and climate change.
Tornado presentation
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cool, dry air, causing instability in the atmosphere and a spinning wind. They appear as a funnel-shaped cloud that can be over a mile wide and 50 miles long, with winds reaching 300 mph. Tornadoes most commonly occur in the central US between March and May. While they can cause significant damage and an average of 80 deaths per year in the US, building giant walls may help reduce but not eliminate tornadoes in high-risk areas, though the project would be very costly.
Earthquakes slideshow
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and fault lines, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes can cause tremendous damage through ground shaking and secondary effects like tsunamis. Recent major quakes in Nepal and Japan killed over 9,000 and led to widespread destruction. While earthquakes can't be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize damage by strengthening buildings and infrastructure and preparing emergency plans.

Cover Letter
Professor Snape,
I changed a few things around but kept a lot the same. As per your suggestion, I tried to clarify my thesis statement more and put more details in about what we can do to change around the habitats. I put more in about the cost of moving species to different habitats but there isn’t a whole lot of information yet about benefits, besides the moved species not dying out, because it’s only been done a few times.
I added a little bit more about polar bears because one of my peers said that he’d like more information about that and why it’s the face of the struggle. I had made an assumption that my target audience of people who have a basic knowledge of global warming and endangered species would know about the polar bear but I clarified it a bit more. My audience was the curious academic audience of my peers.
Sincerely,

How Climatic Changes are Affecting Endangered Species
When you think of climate change endangering animals, the first thing that comes to mind is polar bears as they have become the face of this struggle. There are, however, plenty of other species that are affected just as much. “The major problem with climate change is not so much that climate is changing, but that it is changing faster than species can move or adapt” (Rout). I plan to look at which species are impacted that are closest to home, what we can do to help and how much this would cost. Setting up a separate habitat for species that might not have a habitat for much longer would be a good idea but should be worked out more since it comes at a cost and might not work out ecologically either.
Around the world there are endangered species are on the critical list such as the previously mentioned polar bears, tigers in India, the Sumatran orangutan and Mexico’s Santa Catalina Island rattlesnake and a few have become officially extinct like the Yangtze River dolphin. Global warming melting the polar ice caps endangers any animal relying on ice such as the polar bear which many people think of when they think of global warming endangering a species. It’s easy to be upset about these but hard to relate to however there are quite a few species in Indiana that are endangered. Georgia Parham of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Midwest Region tells us of a bat in Indiana that is having problems. Myotis sodalis, otherwise known as the Indiana bat, is in trouble because “they were struck four years ago by a deadly disease known as white-nose syndrome” (Parham). Climate change can stress these already stressed animals to the point where they die out. “Surface temperature is directly related to cave temperature, so climate change will inevitably affect the suitability of hibernacula” (Parham). Indiana bats require a certain temperature when hibernating so if it gets too hot or cold then there will be a rapid decline in their numbers. Since they have su ...
The Ice is Melting
The document discusses how global warming is threatening the environment and arctic animals. It notes that the rapid burning of fossil fuels has caused polar ice to melt over the past century. As a result, polar bears have to swim farther between ice caps, causing exhaustion and drowning. The melting ice has also killed many land mammals in the Arctic and led polar bear populations to decline by 22% in one area over the past decade. The document argues that global warming poses a serious threat and that efforts should be made to stop it to prevent the extinction of many species.
climate-change-in-the-polar-regions-powerpoint_ver_3.ppt
Climate change is causing the polar regions to warm, melting ice caps and glaciers. This is affecting both wildlife and indigenous human populations. Animals like polar bears rely on sea ice for hunting, and are struggling as the warm season lasts longer. Indigenous Arctic peoples' traditional diets and livelihoods are also threatened as less wildlife is available due to climate impacts. Rising sea levels additionally put coastal Arctic communities at risk of flooding.

First Post:
Invasive species can be any kind of living organism not native to an ecosystem that causes harm. This can be to the environment, human health, or the economy. These species typically grow and reproduce quickly and tend to spread aggressively. Now, when I think of an invasive species the first thing that comes to my mind is the iguana. Not entirely sure why, maybe its because they are all over nsu's campus, but it was interesting to google other invasive species and learn more about them.
I researched the European Green Crab. The European green crabs are considered one of the most widespread invasive marine species on the planet! They began invading Washington state in 1996. The crabs themselves are native to Europe and North Africa. They were first brought to North America in 1817 by being carried in the holds of wooden ships. It is thought that they were spread during their long larval stage which lasts up to 90 days. They would spread via shipping on boats or by drifting on ocean currents. They also frequently move from one area to another by "hitchhiking" on boats, in gear, or in packaged shellfish.
When the green crab population grows too large, they cause various issues. They compete with other shellfish, destroy eelgrass that is an important habitat for Dungeness crabs and salmon, and disturb sediment. They are able to out- compete native species because they live 4-7 years, the eat a wide variety of plants and animals, and the females release 185,000 eggs up to twice a year. It is said that once the European Green Grab establishes a population in a particular area, it is practically impossible to get rid of them. Groups and organizations are working towards limiting their spread and limiting the ensuing damage.

Global Warming
This document discusses global warming and its impacts. It begins by explaining the causes and mechanisms of global warming, noting that increased greenhouse gases from human activity are the main driver of current warming trends. It then outlines some of the effects already occurring, such as rising temperatures, sea level rise, and species moving to different areas. The document predicts more severe impacts in the future this century, including stronger storms, more flooding and drought, declining fresh water, and some species becoming extinct. It concludes that global warming poses a severe threat to all life on Earth if not addressed.
Extinction Of Bees Essay
The document discusses the causes and impacts of species extinction. It states that habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and human activities like hunting are major drivers of extinction. When species go extinct, it can have catastrophic effects by disrupting food chains and ecosystems. While some extinction is natural, the current rate is estimated to be 1000-10,000 times higher than the background rate due to human factors. Conserving habitats, reducing pollution and mitigating climate change are important to prevent further extinctions.
Save our planet - it is our future
This document discusses several endangered species and threats they face:
- Dolphins are endangered by fishing gear entanglement, habitat loss from dams and development, and hunting. Climate change is also affecting dolphin habitats and food sources.
- Lynx populations have declined due to loss of rural habitats and illegal hunting. Protecting natural areas and enforcing laws could help the species.
- Polar bears face threats from climate change, including loss of sea ice habitat and food sources. A warming climate has dire consequences for the species and environment.
- Collective action is needed through green transportation, limiting pollution, and sustainable living to curb climate change and protect vulnerable species.
Global warming
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm. This is already causing effects like rising sea levels, stronger storms, and species extinction. As temperatures continue rising, even more severe consequences are expected, like widespread food and water shortages. To address this, people are advocating for solutions like clean energy and reducing pollution, while governments pass laws and regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

The 7th row of the periodic table has been completed with the discovery of four new elements by scientists from Russia, the U.S., and Japan. The elements occupy positions 113, 115, 117, and 118 and were previously known as Uut, Uup, Uus, and Uuo respectively. The discoveries were ratified by IUPAC, allowing the elements to be formally named. The Japanese team that discovered element 113 will name it, with reports suggesting it may be called "Japanium". Completing the 7th row was an important achievement for chemistry as the periodic table is now filled down to that row.
Geography basics
Tools used in geography include maps, globes, GPS, remote sensing, and GIS. Maps show physical features and are printed on paper, while globes model the spherical earth accurately. GPS uses satellite distances to determine position. Remote sensing studies objects from afar using tools like aerial photography. GIS digitally analyzes and displays geographic data, allowing overlay of different data layers.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. What is Climate Change? a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. www.ecy.wa.gov/climatechange/whatis.ht m
- 3. Where is it Happening? It’s happening all everywhere all over the world, my focus is here at home; in our deserts Desert Sun :WHITEWATER – Scientists recently surveyed one patch of the desert and found more desert tortoises dead than alive. Some types of lizards and insects have been vanishing from areas where they once thrived. And on mountainsides that have grown hotter and drier, birds have been shifting to higher elevations http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environ ment/2014/06/07/climate-change-california- desert-animals/10035779/
- 4. How does effect life on Earth? Or how is life Effected by it? As we’ve learned the Earth goes through natural climate changes during certain seasons, one of the changes we see her in southern California is the El Niño. Although the El Niño is a natural change the effects of El Niño change along with climate change caused by humans. This however is not the only changes we see. In an article by National Geographic have seen dramatic changes in the ecosystem of our deserts. I know when think Climate change the first thing we think is save the polar bears! But…..
- 5. How does effect life on Earth? Or how is life Effected by it? It effects life on Earth by killing life that comes from the Desert. Again I understand that when we think Climate change the desert isn’t the first thing cross any ones minds it’s the North and South Poles all of the Glaciers we’re losing the Polar Bears that have been found far away from their natural homes. For example the Jashua Tree has been marked as threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. So far, only one species, the polar bear, has been added to the national list based on the threats posed by climate. National Geographic also printed this in their article “The Desert Southwest and the Arctic are being ripped apart by climate change faster than anywhere else because they are North America's most extreme ecosystems”. Most extreme ecosystems here at home in our desert not the first that crosses our minds as drive through the desert is it. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/10/151028 -joshua-tree-climate-change-mojave-desert/
- 6. Is there a problem with your topic? Absolutely there is MANY. But the main one is that we don’t hear about the effects that the Desert disappearing will have, we are to focused on one Giant piece of information that we’ve become obsessed with saving the Polar Bears. Why don’t we zoom out and look out to our very own backyard. What about black-throated sparrows and found that they failed to reproduce during the hottest, driest year in the areas where they were common. "None of them bred at all, or if they tried to nest, their nests failed. And many pairs just didn't even attempt to build a nest," Hargrove said. "If it's over a certain threshold of hot and dry, they can't reproduce.“ Now this may seem like just one bird but that bird play a big role in our food chain. Also our desert tortoises are also disappearing. http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environm ent/2014/06/07/climate-change-california- desert-animals/10035779/
- 7. What are some solutions? Well they’re the same as almost every problem we currently have. Fossil Fuels not using the right natural gas. Buying factory farmed foods. We can’t focus on one area to stop the change we have to look at the entire picture. Recycling, using glass instead of plastic bottles, reusing water bottles if we buy them, keeping our oceans clean. Changing what we use as sources to create clothing. All of these small things will make a small impact by ever person but if everyone tries many small impacts become large impacts.
