Great Barrier Reef

StarStarStarStar

Elevated water temperatures lead to mass coral bleaching events, acidification reduces coral growth rates, and frequency of extreme weather events cause physical destruction.

StarStarStarStar

Amazon Rainforest

StarStarStarStar

Droughts become more frequent leading to tree mortality, altered rainfall patterns affect species distribution, and increased CO2 levels can initially boost plant growth before other climate stressors overwhelm this effect.

StarStarStarStar

Mangrove Forests

StarStarStarStar

Rising sea levels can drown mangroves, increased salinity affects species survival, and heightened storm intensity can cause greater physical damage.

StarStarStarStar

Arctic Tundra

StarStarStarStar

Permafrost thaw releases greenhouse gases, vegetation zones shift northwards altering the habitat, and invasive species introduce new competition for native flora and fauna.

StarStarStarStar

Sea Turtles

StarStarStarStar

Rising temperatures can lead to skewed sex ratios in hatchlings, nesting beaches are lost due to sea-level rise, and changes in ocean currents affect migration and foraging.

StarStarStarStar

Coral Reefs

StarStarStarStar

Increased sea temperatures cause coral bleaching, ocean acidification hinders calcification, and changing marine ecosystems affect coral symbiotic relationships.

StarStarStarStar

Monarch Butterflies

StarStarStarStar

Changes in temperature affect migration patterns, altered precipitation affects milkweed availability essential for larvae, and extreme weather events can devastate populations.

StarStarStarStar

Alpine Meadows

StarStarStarStar

Higher elevations see reduced snowpack leading to water stress, temperature shifts lead to encroachment by woody plants, and timing of seasonal flowering can be disrupted affecting pollinators.

StarStarStarStar

Polar Bears

StarStarStarStar

Loss of Arctic sea ice reduces hunting grounds, forces longer swimming distances leading to increased mortality, and creates food scarcity due to ecosystem changes.

StarStarStarStar

Honey Bees

StarStarStarStar

Extreme weather events disrupt foraging and honey production, changing flowering times affect food availability, and warmer temperatures can expand the range of pathogens and pests.
