glaciers melting

The melting of glaciers significantly impacts various ecosystems in multiple ways. As glaciers melt, they contribute to rising sea temperatures, which can be stressful for sea-ice algae and sub-ice plankton, leading to habitat loss.

How does glaciers melting affect ecosystems?

glaciers melting

water salinity

some fish will not survive less salt in water
coral reefs threatened
some producers will not survive change in water salinity

warmer sea temperatures

glaciers melt more quickly
stressful for sub-ice plankton
stressful for sea-ice algae

floods

erodes fertile soil
spread disease
death of many producers
habitat loss

longer ice free seasons

carbon dioxide released
some species become less isolated
some species become more isolated
