During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel-glucose and other sugars for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle.
The Slow Carbon Cycle. ... Atmospheric carbon combines with water to form a weak acid—carbonic acid—that falls to the surface in rain. The acid dissolves rocks-a process called chemical weathering-and releases calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium ions.
The effect of land development on biodiversity has resulted in the habitat destroyed, the ecosystem is destroyed, species extinctions, and overexploited.
An increase in urbanization, human activities is the main cause of land development and this has affected biodiversity.
development in land includes activities such as clearing of land, increasing the intensity of a landscape, removal of vegetation, filling of the land, grading, construction, dredging has resulted in the loss of wildlife, affected the biota, threatened the ecosystems, species.
