More specifically, one of the impacts humans have had on coasta ecsystems is the destruction of mangrove forests around the world. Found in the euphotic zone, mangrove forests provide a wealth of ecosystem services, such as toxic pollutant filtration and a source of building materials. Further, mangrove forests provide important nutrients and habitats for many marine organisms, thus providing a dependable food source for communities living near this ecosystem. The primary cause of mangrove loss in Asia, however, is the development of shrimp farming to feed the European and North American shrimp market. How might the conversion of these forests into shrimp ponds (see photo) affect the ecosystem services provided by natural mangrove communities? Check all that apply. © Minden Pictures / SuperStock The loss of habitat and development of ponds will result in shrimp monocultures, thereby decreasing biodiversity There is increased likelihood of erosion and storm damage. Less carbon dioxide will be absorbed by mangrove trees.

Explanation / Answer

Ans.

Less corbon dioxid will be absorbed by mangrove trees.Clear-cutting of tropical mangrove forests to create shrimp ponds and cattle pastures contributes significantly to the greenhouse gas effect, one of the leading causes of global warming, new research suggests.

And also There is increased likelihood of erosion and storm dammage.Because thats creat open spaces for erosion.
