Question Q7GS1GS2

What are the potential consequences of Arctic ice melt on biodiversity and ecosystems? How might these changes impact global ecological balance?

Main Body

Arctic ice is melting twice the rate of other glaciers due to phenomenon of Arctic amplification. Consequences of melt on biodiversity & ecosystem: 1) Impacts hydrological cycle - fluidity North glace -> higher freshwater -> lower freshwater storage -> drying of glacial hotel rivers 2) Affects the geographic shift of biomes by vegetation - increase in tundra region 3) Intrinsic Corbicellation -> growth of newer vegetation -> initiation of primary deneration

4Affect the growth pattern & life cycle of various flora & fauna 5) Biogenesis & Albedo rule -> change in shape & size of animal body & their oppostades with climate change Impact on global ecological balance: 1) Change in global heat balance 2) Effect on seasonality of glacial growth 3) Overarching input on global Ultimate 4) Impact on global oceanic - atmosphere phenomena like El Nino, la Nina etc 5) Rise of portmanous -> with all race of hidden viral organism Therefore, Arctic council & similar international forum should cooperate to address the changed (LOD 17)
