• Important concepts from previous units:• C3 plants perform the light reaction and Calvin
cycle in the same cell.• C4 plants perform the light reaction in one cell
and the Calvin Cycle in the bundle sheath cell.• Transpiration, through the stomata, is
important to control (regulate) by plants at the stomata.

I. Human Impact on EcosystemsA. Agriculture
1. Harvesting Food - Promotes a loss of nutrients from that area.
a. Fertilizers (Good in that it replaces or Bad in that it could lead to cultural eutrophication.)
b. Critical Load - Refers to the maximum amount of nutrients that plants can absorb. (The excess fertilizer damages the ecosystem by promoting cultural eutrophication.)

B. Fossil Fuels1. Burning these can cause Acid
Precipitation (Remember, It is Rain/snow/sleet/ice with a pH of < 5.6.)
a. Sulfur and Nitrogen oxides are the main causes; these are released by burning fossil fuels.
b. Effects? It kills plants and leaches the soil (nutrients moved away from the roots).

Section 3 Acid Precipitation
• When fossils fuels are burned, sulfur and nitrogen oxides combine with water in the air to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid

C. Biological Magnification (the buildup of poisons and heavy metals in organisms) The higher up the food chain you get, the poisons get more and more concentrated, which causes health and reproductive problems.
1. DDT and PCB, to name a couple, use has lead to organism extinct, health issues, and polluted water.

2. The book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson discusses these in depth.
a. This book led to the eventual banning of DDT in the U.S. in 1971.
b. The DDT was used to kill mosquitoes, but it was going up the food chain and killing the Bald Eagle populations. The DDT caused the bird’s eggs shells to be paper thin. So when the mother went to sit on the eggs to keep them warm; she ended up crushing them instead.

D. Rising Atmospheric CO2 levels 1. Deforestation and Fossil Fuels are
major sources helping to increase the concentration in the atmosphere. There are no trees to pull CO2 out of the air and fossil fuels are releasing it.

Rising CO2 and rising temperature
![Page 18: AP Biology Ecosystems Ecology Part 3. Important concepts from previous units: C3 plants perform the light reaction and Calvin cycle in the same cell.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042822/56649e7b5503460f94b7be09/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Average daily temperature of the Planet1. C3 plants (Most are food producing plants.)
vs. C4 plants (Few produce food, except corn.)a. C3 plants don’t thrive in very warm climates; but C4 will. The warmer it gets, the less food we will be able to grow, which will lead to famine on a larger scale.
2. The Greenhouse Effect and Greenhouse Gases increasing will help raise the Earth’s temperature.

F. Ozone Depletion and CFC’s (Chloro-fluro-carbons are propellants found in aerosol cans and refrigerants.)
1. Each CFC can destroy up to 100,000 Ozone molecules (It is a chain reaction or positive feedback loop.)
2. Ozone helps block out harmful radiation from the sun, so we don’t burn up.
3. Ozone holes in Antarctica and Northeastern Canada exist. These holes are causing ice to melt faster and also causing more health related issues.

CIO
Chlorine from CFCs interacts with ozone (O3), forming chlorine monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O2).
Sunlight causes Cl2O2 to break down into O2 and free chlorine atoms. The chlorine atoms can begin the cycle again.
Two CIO molecules react, forming chlorine peroxide (Cl2O2).

• Species extinction on earth• There is an extinction crisis currently
occurring on earth due to over hunting, over consumption, and habitat destruction. As biodiversity disappears , so does the stability of food webs.
