|
|
The populations of organisms currently existing in the environment will increase.

Detailed explanation-1: -If your local environment begins to turn into a desert, what will most likely happen to the organisms in the environment? The populations of organisms currently existing in the environment will increase.
Detailed explanation-2: -The number of organisms an ecosystem can support depends on the resources available and abiotic factors, such as quantity of light and water, range of temperatures, and soil composition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Keystone species have low functional redundancy. This means that if the species were to disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological niche. The ecosystem would be forced to radically change, allowing new and possibly invasive species to populate the habitat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Low biodiversity is when there are a few prominent species and a low number of other species within the habitat. High biodiversity is a habitat or ecosystem that has a high number of different species.
Detailed explanation-5: -Food shortage as the lands become barren and the oceans become fishless. Loss of biodiversity as whole species of living things disappear due to deforestation. Pollution will eventually become unmanageable and affect our health. Rising temperatures may be too much for all living things on the planet.
