These are two different questions and need two different answers.
Climate change could mean warmer temperatures, causing heat stress in the flora or fauna of the ecosytem. It could mean more prolonged droughts, so that some species can not longer survive in the environment. It could alternatively mean more frequent floods, causing destruction of specimens and destabilising the ecosystem. Greater storm activity associated with climate change can also have a deleterious effect on some species, destabilising the ecosystem. Climate change can even favour one species over another and, if they are competitors or prey, create an imbalance that leads to extinction.
Introducing just one new usually has a lesser impact on an ecosystem, although any unforseen effect could result in localised disaster and widespread species extinction. Any loss of plant species could potentially lead to serious erosion and loss of topsoil and even, in the extreme, desertification.

How does climate change affect the biodiversity of marine ecosystems?
Although throughout Earth's history the climate has always changed with ecosystems and species coming and going, rapid climate change affects ecosystems and species ability to adapt and so biodiversity loss increases. ... Loss of Arctic sea ice threatens biodiversity across an entire biome and beyond.
Why does climate affect biodiversity?
If the climate is nice more species will come into an area
Explain how changes in the climate can affect species?
Changes in climate can impact species by altering their habitat, food availability, and breeding patterns. For instance, rising temperatures can shift the distribution of plant species, affecting the food sources of herbivores. Additionally, changes in precipitation patterns can lead to droughts or floods, disrupting ecosystems and causing a decline in species populations.
Does loss of species affect global warming?
Yes, loss of species can impact global warming. Biodiversity loss reduces the resilience and productivity of ecosystems, which can in turn affect the ecosystem's ability to sequester carbon and regulate climate. Additionally, some species play important roles in carbon sequestration or in maintaining ecosystem services that help mitigate climate change.
How would the introduction of a predator species affect the stability of an ecosystem?
The introduction of a new predator can have the species eaten with no time to evolve to defend against it

Loss of Arctic sea ice threatens biodiversity across an entire biome and beyond.
What are the limiting factors that affect the biodiversity and productivity of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems?
Limiting factors that affect biodiversity and productivity in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems include availability of resources like food and water, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and invasive species. These factors can disrupt the balance of ecosystems and reduce the variety of species that can thrive in them.
What are some examples that affect some species?
Examples of factors that can affect species include habitat loss due to development, climate change altering ecosystems, pollution impacting water and air quality, overexploitation from hunting or fishing, and invasive species introducing competition or diseases.
Can you provide a detailed explanation of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, citing the research study by Smith et al. (2019)?
Climate change has a significant impact on marine ecosystems, as highlighted in the study by Smith et al. (2019). The research shows that rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and changes in ocean circulation patterns are leading to disruptions in marine food webs, loss of biodiversity, and habitat degradation. These changes can affect the survival and reproduction of marine species, leading to population declines and shifts in species distribution. Overall, climate change poses a serious threat to the health and stability of marine ecosystems.
Changes in ecosystems can affect the ability of an area to?
Changes in ecosystems can affect the ability of an area to support various plant and animal species, influence the overall biodiversity, impact nutrient cycling and water purification processes, and even modify local climate patterns.
How can changes in the climate affect species?
It is the temperature
What are your research interests and how do they contribute to your academic pursuits?
My research interests focus on understanding the impact of climate change on ecosystems and biodiversity. By studying how environmental changes affect different species and ecosystems, I aim to contribute to the field of conservation biology and help inform strategies for preserving biodiversity in the face of a changing climate.
What possible research questions can be explored regarding the impact of climate change on biodiversity?
Some possible research questions on the impact of climate change on biodiversity include: How does climate change affect the distribution and abundance of species? What are the long-term effects of climate change on ecosystems and food webs? How do different species adapt or respond to changing environmental conditions caused by climate change?
