How Hunting, Fishing, Farming, and Cutting Trees Affect Nature

How Hunting, Fishing, Farming, and Cutting Trees Affect Nature

The environment faces significant challenges from human activities, particularly focusing on the impact of hunting and fishing on biodiversity and effects of agriculture on environmental resources. These activities, combined with causes and effects of deforestation and pollution, create a complex web of environmental degradation.

  • Human activities like hunting and fishing directly contribute to species endangerment and extinction
  • Agricultural expansion leads to habitat destruction and chemical pollution through pesticides and herbicides
  • Deforestation disrupts vital ecological processes including oxygen production and soil fertility
  • Industrial and household pollution contaminate water bodies and soil systems
  • Water and carbon cycles are fundamental natural processes affected by human interference
  • Population growth intensifies resource consumption and environmental pressure

Page 2: The Water Cycle

This page explains the natural water cycle process, detailing how water moves through different states and locations in the environment. The cycle includes several key processes: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, surface runoff, and percolation.

Definition: Transpiration is the process where water vapor is released from plant leaves into the atmosphere.

Example: Surface runoff occurs when rainfall flows over the land surface instead of being absorbed into the ground.

Vocabulary: Percolation refers to the movement of water through soil and rock layers beneath the Earth's surface.

Page 3: The Carbon Cycle

This page illustrates the carbon cycle, showing how carbon moves through different organisms and the environment. The cycle demonstrates the interconnected processes of photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and fossil fuel combustion.

Highlight: The carbon cycle is crucial for life on Earth, with plants playing a vital role through photosynthesis in converting atmospheric CO2 into organic matter.

Definition: Carbon fixation is the process where organisms convert inorganic carbon (CO2) into organic compounds.

Example: Fossil fuel combustion releases stored carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

Page 1: Human Impact on Environmental Systems

This page details the various ways humans negatively impact biodiversity and natural ecosystems. The content focuses on four main areas: hunting/fishing, agriculture, deforestation, and pollution. Each activity contributes to the declining state of global biodiversity through direct and indirect means.

Definition: Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms in an ecosystem, including different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Example: In agricultural settings, the removal of hedgerows eliminates crucial habitats for various species while also disrupting natural corridors for wildlife movement.

Highlight: Humans are identified as the leading cause of biodiversity loss through various activities including habitat destruction and resource exploitation.

Vocabulary: Mono-Culture refers to the agricultural practice of growing a single crop type over a large area, significantly reducing biodiversity.
