How do urban ecosystems harm the environment?

Answer 1

Urbanisation will cause greenery to be lost. Urbanisation involves the process of buildings new buildings and infrastructure, and trees and grasslands will have too be chopped down and removed to make space for the new buildings. In this case, the natural environment is lost. Sometimes, construction will cause sand and dirt to circulate in the air, creating air pollution, while pollutants from construction sites may enter water bodies and cause water pollution. Even though some cities may try to restore its former greenery, it can never be compared to the previous natural landscape. Animal life will also be greatly affected due to habitat loss.

Pollution from many sources: Cars, buildings, machines etc. all add to pollution and change the air of the area. Detergents, cleaners, oil, etc. contaminate groundwater. This affects the biodiversity of the area.

Littering adds new items to the area. All aspects of the city change an ecosystem. Animals have to move because their habitat's are destroyed. Plants are killed off due to changes in the ecosystem or harvesting of plants.
