substantial fluctuations in environmental conditions over the past 18‚000 years. E.g. Climate change and rising sea level. Classifying Ecosystems Classified according to their dominant features. Land based ecosystems = terrestrial ecosystems or biomes. (Forests‚ deserts‚ grasslands). Differences between terrestrial ecosystems primarily arise from variations in average temperature and precipitation. Water based ecosystems = aquatic ecosystems. (Ponds‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ wetlands‚ coral reefs)

Overpopulation is a generally undesirable condition where an organism ’s numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. Overpopulation can result from an increase in births‚ a decline in mortality rates‚ an increase in immigration‚ or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. (Wikipedia) II. Why is it a problem? It’s a problem because the people are suffering and forced to live in the streets. There’s too many of us and the Philippines is just small so it couldn’t afford to carry all
