Answer:
When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean’s pH (a measure of how acidic or basic the ocean is) drops. Even though the ocean is immense, enough carbon dioxide can have a major impact. In the past 200 years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic, faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last 50 million years.

Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70 percent of Earth's surface. Earth's atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen for us to breathe.There are multiple reasons for earth to be a special planet. Reasons are as follows
1.Earth is the only planet known where intelligent life exist.
2.It lies in the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ). CHZ is defined in the image given below.
3. Earth has a unique magnetic field which protects the earth from the harmful solar winds. These solar winds played a role in transforming venus into hell.
4. Earth has Van Allen radiation belts which protects it from cosmic rays.
5. Our large neighbour Jupiter protects is from many comets and asteroids that come from the keiper belt and Oort cloud.
6. Earth's atmosphere is favorable to support life on earth. This atmosphere consists of different gases in adequate amount. If the percentage of gases would differ then life on earth may face serious consequences.
7. Tectonic plates of earth differentiates it from most other planets.
8. Earth has a solid crust unlike the gaseous planets.
9. Earth has been gifted with a medium sized star which release solar winds and protect us from the harmful radiation of outer space.

Explanation:
The species was a keystone species.
Keystone species are the species that ''hold the ecosystem together''.
They have an important role in the trophic networks (food chains) and often they can even afflict changes in the abiotic part of the ecosystem (change the composition of soil, purify the water, lower the effect of the wind etc)
Therefore, when a keystone species is removed it affects greatly the whole ecosystem.
