Chapter 56: Conservation Biology and Global Change Biodiversity Conservation biology is a goal-oriented science that seeks to counter the biodiversity crisis, the current rapid decrease in Earth?s variety of life. Extinction is a natural phenomenon that has been occurring since life evolved on earth. The current rate of extinction is what underlies the biodiversity crisis. A high rate of species extinction is being caused by humans. The three levels of biodiversity: genetic diversity species diversity ecosystem diversity The four major threats to biodiversity: Habitat loss Human alteration of habitat is the single greatest threat to biodiversity Introduced species: invasive/nonnative/exotic species Overexploitation: harvest wild plants/animals

The Difference Between Global Warming and Ozone Depletion Foreman Room 102 1. Global Warming and Ozone Depletion take place in two different layers of the atmosphere: Global Warming Ozone Depletion Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Causes Global Warming: cars, factories, rice farming, landfills: Infrared heat enters but is trapped by the chemicals when it tries to escape. The chemicals act like a blanket. CO2 CH4 NOx CFCs H2O Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Causes Ozone Depletion: Propellants (hairspray), Air Conditioners, some manufacturing. Chemicals react with UV protecting ozone in the stratosphere. CFCs CCl4 CF4 Ozone is good up high but bad nearby Global Warming vs. Ozone Depletion: Environmental Effects and Human Health: GLOBAL WARMING
