5 Questions

Global ______ will affect ecosystem functions and cycles such as nutrient, hydraulic, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon cycles. Also changing aspects of ecological conditions such as temperature, soil moisture, and precipitation. Wildlife species are adapted to their environments and changes to the environment and habitat conditions directly or indirectly on species survival, fecundity and development period, nutrition, natural enemies and population dynamics. The ability to adapt for changing habitat conditions as a result of ______ will differ on each individual species and between populations. Some wildlife species may be more vulnerable (endangered) to ______ than other species. Vulnerability is often linked to particular life-history traits (specific) (e.g., specialized habitat needs or limited dispersal abilities). For example, grassland birds may be more vulnerable to changing climate than forest birds and vice versa.

Wildlife species are adapted to their environments and changes to the environment and habitat conditions directly or indirectly on species survival, fecundity and development period, nutrition, natural enemies and population dynamics. The ability to adapt for changing habitat conditions as a result of climate change will differ on each individual species and between populations. Some ______ species may be more vulnerable (endangered) to climate change than other species. Vulnerability is often linked to particular life-history traits (specific) (e.g., specialized habitat needs or limited dispersal abilities). For example, grassland birds may be more vulnerable to changing climate than forest birds and vice versa.
