Climate and Change in Ecosystems

Question 19 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Explain why organisms that have a narrow temperature tolerance range will be more susceptible to climate change.

Answer

Answer:

Organisms with a narrow temperature tolerance can survive only within a small range of temperatures. As climate change shifts temperatures, conditions may move outside that range. These organisms may then struggle to survive or reproduce, or may need to move to a cooler or warmer habitat, making them more susceptible to climate change.
