Some environmental factors that can cause changes in ecosystems are extreme weather, disease, land use change, invasive species, and pollution. Explain how changes in land use can impact an ecosystem.
Organisms that have a narrow temperature tolerance range cannot survive in a wide variety of temperatures. Even small changes in climate can affect organisms that do not have a high tolerance for change. These organisms will be forced to adapt, relocate, or die off. If climate change is widespread, such organisms may not be able to survive.
