Question

If trees and clouds were removed from our ecosystem how would it change our ecosystem

Answer 1

If trees and clouds were removed from the ecosystem, various natural cycles would be interrupted. For example, the carbon cycle in which trees turn Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen through photosynthesis would be impossible to complete, as there’d be an overwhelming amount of Carbon Dioxide. If clouds were removed, the water and Nitrogen cycles would be affected as condensation and precipitation (the process of rain) would not occur and thunderstorms neutralizing the Nitrogen in the ground through lightening would also not be able to occur. In short, the ecosystem would be overridden with Carbon dioxide, deprived of water, and have unbalanced amounts of Nitrogen, all leading to the destruction in the Ozone layer and life as we know it.
