Decreasing oxygen level in water
Earth Water Oxygen Decreasing: In recent times, the earth is constantly grappling with major environmental threats. A major threat is looming over the earth’s life support system. This threat is the rapid decrease in dissolved oxygen in the seas, rivers, lakes and ponds. The existence of aquatic creatures may be in danger due to the rapid decrease in oxygen in earth’s water. This research has been published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The balance of the environment will also be disturbed
According to this research, the lack of oxygen in water will not only affect aquatic life but will also disturb the balance of the environment. Due to climate change and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the temperature of air and water is increasing more than the average, due to which surface water is not able to handle oxygen.
Danger to aquatic life
Apart from this, the amount of oxygen that is spent by animals is not being restored by plants and trees. This is posing a threat to the lives of aquatic animals.
the eco system will be ruined
This research says that billions of people depend on the sea and freshwater sources for food and income. In such a situation, if the life of aquatic organisms is in danger, then a situation of imbalance will arise and the entire ecosystem will deteriorate. A team of scientists proposes that aquatic deoxygenation be added to the list of planetary boundaries. This is the limit within which humanity can develop for future generations and crossing it can have serious consequences.
