GLOBAL WARMING

How is it related with biology?

Resources

Global warming causes climate change, and climate change can disrupt the match between organisms and their local environment, reducing survival and reproduction and causing subsequent impacts on populations or species' distributions across geographic regions. Changes in climate may benefit some species and cause extinction for others.

What is it?

How it affect biological studies

Global warming

a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.

The Role of Biology in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

how can biology help

biochemistry

research in biogeochemistry has expanded rapidly over recent years as the field could provide answers to major scientific and societal challenges such as climate change, contamination of groundwater, and food security.

Solution to Greenhouse gases

wetlands as carbon sinks

virology

The appearance of infectious diseases in new places and new hosts, such as West Nile virus and Ebola, is a predictable result of climate change, says a noted zoologist affiliated with the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

virology helps us made vaccines and do much deeper research on the virus itself

Species are struggling to adapt to climate change, and with the knowledge of zoology we can prevent them from extinction
