<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B. Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization. A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream. The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species. Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease. All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use. Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>
Answer:
Commenting so you can give the other dude Brainliest. answer is correct :)
Smoking is a huge factor that drives this disease, specifically tobacco.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria live in soil and roots of legumes, such as peas. When plants and other organisms die, decomposers break down their remains. In the process, they release nitrogen in the form of ammonium ions.
They converted carbon dioxide to oxygen. The increased oxygen levels allowed for cellular respiration to occur instead of only glycolysis. The atmosphere became thinner, decreasing temperatures of the planet as well.
