How is urbanization responsible for destruction of ecosystems?
Answers
Answer:
Urbanisation is a great hazard to ecosystem.
Explanation:
Urbanisation is nothing but occupying the natural forms like forest areas and agricultural lands by urban population due to their increase in number and for their demand for consumption.
Due to this urbanisation there occurs imbalance in the ecosystems as many producers and primary consumers loose their habitat resulting in disturbance in food chain and nutrient flow.
This indirectly affects the health and habitat of people itself.
Explanation:
Urbanization causes pollution and the greenhouse effect which in turn affects the growth and development of living things in the ecosystem. Producers have low to no production making survival of living things in other levels of the food chain suffer.
