Which of the following human activities will have the greatest effect on both local and global ecosystems?
absorption of chemicals released by the burning of fossil fuel into the natural cycles of Earth elevated atmospheric levels of CO2 due to the burning of carbon reactants release of exotic (non-native) species into local ecosystems widespread application of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides on farmland
I'm stuck between the second and last.
The others seem local. I believe that it would the last one due to it directly killing ecosystem organisms, but increased co2 levels are very global.
Can you give me an answer and EXPLANATION.
hi
The elevated atmospheric levels of CO2 due to the burning of carbon reactants. if Carbon production is greater that it's usage, meaning there is no regulating it the effects will last for centuries. Icecaps will melt away and many organisms will disappear.
