What impact does the destruction of peat bogs have on biodiversity, and why are these areas important for plant, animal, and microorganism species?

How do human activities like building, quarrying, farming, and waste disposal reduce the land available for other species?

How can the study of environmental changes help predict future impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem stability?

In what ways might species adapt or struggle to survive in response to shifts in environmental conditions?

How can human activities contribute to environmental changes that alter the distribution of species in ecosystems?

What are the different types of environmental changes that can affect species distribution, including seasonal, geographic, and human-induced changes?

How do environmental changes such as temperature, availability of water, and the composition of atmospheric gases impact the distribution of species in an ecosystem?

Why are the carbon and water cycles essential for maintaining life on Earth?

What role do microorganisms play in cycling materials through an ecosystem, particularly in returning carbon and mineral ions to the atmosphere and soil?

How does the water cycle provide fresh water for plants and animals, and what happens to the water once it drains into the seas?
