Coral Reef Research Paper

It would affect everything on Earth. The plants would be less able to get its energy from the sun causing chain reaction of less energy for every other animal in the food chain. A short term affect is a decreasing plant population and long tern would be a decreasing population to everything else on the planet.
If the sun was completely blocked the producers could not produce, then the consumers could not eat them and the consumers of them could not eat them and so on. Decomposers cant decompose them if there is thug left. Eventually everything on earth would be extinct. The cycling of matter would stop and there would just be dead organisms and waste everywhere.

Another factor is the soil. The soil of a rain forest is rare and mostly acidic so plants depend on large trees falling and decomposing for their food. Also, human movement into the depths in forests and wild life ecosystems for expansion. Weather and tropical rainstorms could also be a limiting factor because of the intensity of the storms.

Coral Reefs- One major limiting factor could be humans and pollution of the ocean effecting the health of everything in the sea. Temperature is also a huge limiting factor, coral reefs like the environment to be warm but not too warm. Coral Reefs also have a need for salt, if salt levels go down in an ocean over a long period of time the the coral will die. One more limiting factor is overfishing in the area of the coral reef.

Beaver ponds- Human Pollution would effect the well being of beavers and the water they live in. Also, the hunting and killing of beavers for their leather fur is a issue for the beaver population. Rain and harsh wether could easily destroy a beavers work and their population may start to decrease. Another limiting factor is the available food sources for the beavers. Over fishing causes a lack of food for the beavers which could effect them
