Rising sea level threatens the biodiversity of TBD
Sea levels predicted to rise in the Pacific in the future will cause heavy losses to the ecological environment and seriously threaten the survival of many animals.
Sea levels predicted to rise in the Pacific in the future will cause heavy losses to the ecological environment and seriously threaten the survival of many animals.
This is the result of research by Austrian and American scientists published in the journal " Global Change Biology" published on April 9.
Research by scientists from Vienna University of Veterinary Medicine (Austria) and Yale University (USA) is conducted based on the model of calculating sea level rise in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
The results show that by the end of this century, sea water will increase by about 1m and by 2500m will increase by 5.5m. Scientists also surveyed more than 12,000 islands and 3,000 species of vertebrate animals in this area.
According to calculations, if sea level increases by 1 meter, there will be 1% of the current land area in the area being eroded, meaning that 14.7% of the main small islands will be completely submerged, threatening life. of many creatures here.
Similarly, if sea level rises to 5.5m by 2500 as predicted, the area of land to be invaded will be about 9.3%, seriously threatening most animals, including standing before the danger of extinction, and also the inhabitants of the islands.
Experts emphasize that the research results also reflect the threat of threatening animals on islands and coastal areas globally in general when the sea level rises.
