Ĭlimate change is affecting terrestrial ecoregions. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (2021) projects progressively large increases in both the frequency (horizontal bars) and intensity (vertical bars) of extreme weather events, for increasing degrees of global warming. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. Possible consequences of these effects include species decline and extinction and overall significant loss of biodiversity, change within ecosystems, increased prevalence of invasive species, loss of habitats, forests converting from carbon sinks to carbon sources, ocean acidification, disruption of the water cycle, increased occurrence and severity of natural disasters like wildfires and flooding, and lasting effects on species adaptation. Increasing global temperature, more frequent occurrence of extreme weather, and rising sea level are examples of the most impactful effects of climate change. This is the Gambia River in Senegal's Niokolo-Koba National Park.Ĭlimate change has adversely affected terrestrial and marine ecosystems, including tundras, mangroves, coral reefs, and caves. Rainforest ecosystems are rich in biodiversity. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article.
