It has a direct impact on biodiversity as the larger islands will have more land availability for species, resulting in higher species richness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9357e9c901f00de9514558/1656012098645-TWBUAKUARF6TVXIPEU7K/unsplash-image-9ZXHUr5aCwM.jpg Outdoor Learning Activities - Island Biogeography - LESSON Islands continue to be colonized by new arriving species. These species are known to be generalist species as they are able to thrive outside of their homeland. The island biogeography theory states that species are more likely to become extinct in smaller islands and/or ones that are farther from the mainland. The reason for this is simple. There is not enough land availability on the smaller islands and some species (usually specialists) will be outcompeted. Species also die off due to extinction and because these islands are outside their range of tolerance. https://beyondterra.org/olas/2-mzmkw-c6dxe monthly 0.5 2022-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9357e9c901f00de9514558/1656011946071-EQNYG4FCWJ8U1GD3UADC/unsplash-image-f1CFb_Ek-is.jpg Outdoor Learning Activities - E-waste - INTRODUCTION E-waste occurs once electronics are thrown into landfills.

A symptom of eutrophication is hypoxia. Hypoxia results from low oxygen levels in a water body and occurs when there are very little amounts of dissolved oxygen. This can also be caused by excess nitrates and phosphates, which then leads to eutrophication. “Nutrients are vital. No crops can grow without nutrients. But as with most other compounds, too much in the wrong place causes problems, [such as] eutrophication” – Sari Luostarinen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9357e9c901f00de9514558/1658954485962-WQ5DSX1HA1TS5JMWBK5G/unsplash-image-T2Z1YqBIAok.jpg Outdoor Learning Activities - Eutrophication and Hypoxia - LESSON Eutrophication is a very serious issue that results mainly from the runoff of nutrients (nitrates and phosphates, which are found in fertilizers) into water bodies. This not only harms the organisms in the ecosystem, but also contaminates the water that we end up drinking. https://beyondterra.org/olas/1-eepdw-e72fk-3x2m3-sfs2a monthly 0.5 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9357e9c901f00de9514558/1658964035592-ZLXFY8V9QVEMPDL8RDSP/unsplash-image-Led9c1SSNFo.jpg Outdoor Learning Activities - Human Chemical Disturbance - INTRODUCTION Human disturbance is a measure of how vulnerable aquatic resources are to harmful human activities such as deforestation or landfills + litter. The impacts of these can negatively affect fish, wildlife and other aquatic communities as well as come back to hurt humans in the form of drinking water, etc. “Nature bears long with those who wrong her. She is patient under abuse. But when abuse has gone too far, when the time of reckoning finally comes, she is equally slow to be appeased and to turn away her wrath” – Nathaniel H. Egleston https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9357e9c901f00de9514558/1658963998959-F96OKAM1H6RBHWKUFU00/unsplash-image-DyyPIdim9lY.jpg Outdoor Learning Activities - Human Chemical Disturbance - LESSON Humans have damaged the environment using chemicals and much more.
