| Description: |
In this study researchers identified two primary outcomes for ecosystems within or that depend on the cryosphere: Disruptions in the food chain due to loss of habitat and the disappearance or changes of those species present; Changes in the cycling of water, nutrients, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements that support plant and animal life. Whether these changes are positive or negative depends on how species interact with and respond to their environment. [Source: Portland State University]
