As world warms, ocean habitats shrink
2015-06-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: Large swaths of the ocean could become inhospitable to many kinds of marine life as the world warms. Thats the conclusion of a new study, which finds that rising water temperatures will make perhaps 20% of the ocean less habitable for many fish and crabs by reducing available oxygen. Another study warns that corals fleeing the tropics for cooler waters may find themselves without enough light to photosynthesize adequately in the winter. Most kinds of coral require water that is relatively warm,...

World's critical habitats lost Connecticut-size area of forest in a decade
2015-05-08 20:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Many of the world's endangered animals live in only one place, making them hugely susceptible to environmental upset. One fell swoop, and entire species could disappear from existence forever. New analysis shows that possibility may be edging closer and closer to reality in some areas, with forests known to harbor high-risk species losing an area of tree cover the size of Connecticut in a little over a decade. In 2010, the Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) mapped out these sole areas of habitat...

Shrinking Forest Habitats Impact Global Ecosystems
2015-03-21 18:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: It's no secret that human activity is transforming our world. For example, increasing development for agriculture or new communities is shrinking forest habitats, and new research shows that this is having a significant impact on global ecosystems. According to findings published in the journal Science Advances, 70 percent of existing forest lands are within a half-mile of the forest edge, where encroaching urban, suburban or agricultural influences can cause any number of harmful effects - such...

Shrinking habitats have adverse effects on world ecosystems
2015-03-20 11:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] An extensive study of global habitat fragmentation - the division of habitats into smaller and more isolated patches - points to major trouble for a number of the world's ecosystems and the plants and animals living in them. The study shows that 70 percent of existing forest lands are within a half-mile of the forest edge, where encroaching urban, suburban or agricultural influences can cause any number of harmful effects - like the losses of plants and animals.</p…
