How does a change in temperature or pH might affect the biotic components of an ecosystem?
A change in the pH will affect the kinds of plants that will survive best in an area. The pH can change the ability of the root to take in soil nutrients. So, only the plants that adapt to that particular pH will survive that location. The temperature even complicates things further, if there is a permanent change in the temperature flora can change relatively quickly. Certain plant that could not survive before will move into the area. With the change in flora comes a change in fauna. The insects and other herbivores that feed on the new plant types move into the area along with their predators. All this because of pH and temperature changes.

What is wildlife depletion about?
Wildlife Depletion in Philippines. -tropical rain forests are among the richest,if not the richest, habitats on earth in biological diversity. Biologists estimate that there are at least 35 000 species of plants and animals found in Philippines. The problem is the rate at which wildlife species become extinct.Dioscoro Rabor, a well-known Filipino field biologist, noted that, with the rapid reduction of our forest cover, birds in the Philippine forest disappear faster than scientists can even identify them. Of course new species continue to appear (i.e., speciation) as a result of continuous evolution. But the rate of extinction (estimated to be 100 species per day worldwide)exceeds that of speciation, since it takes some 2000 to 100 000 generations for new species to evolve. thank you!

Flora y fauna de ezequiel Montes?
It is "Ezequiel Montes" which is the name given to an area in Mexico. It's located 37 miles NW of the state of Capital Queretaro, on a federal highway. So you might be referring to this area's flora and fauna.

What are some extreme weather events that happen in a desert?
It depends on the desert, but the most common ones might be sand and dust storms. Drought is probably not a good answer, because the flora and fauna are already adapted to extremely low amounts of precipitation. Deserts in different areas may be prone to earthquakes as well.
WHAT IS SEA encroachment?
When a sea encroaches upstream in the river basin. As the sea advances, it might wipe out river flora and fauna, contaminates aquifers and destroy farmland. Climate change cause raising sea levels, and reduced mangrove forests makes sea enchroacement more frequent.

What are some examples of the Flora and Fauna unique to the USA that might interest a tourist?
