Human impact on the environment
Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes changes to biophysical environments [1] and ecosystems , biodiversity , and natural resources [2] [3] caused directly or indirectly by humans, including global warming , [1] [4] environmental degradation [1] (such as ocean acidification [1] [5] ), mass extinction and biodiversity loss , [6] [7] [8] [9] ecological crisis , and ecological collapse . Modifying the environment to fit the needs of society is causing severe effects, which become worse as the problem of human overpopulation continues. [10] Some human activities that cause damage (either directly or indirectly) to the environment on a global scale include human reproduction , [11] overconsumption , overexploitation , pollution , and deforestation , to name but a few. Some of the problems, including global warming and biodiversity loss pose an existential risk to the human race, [12] [13] and overpopulation causes those problems. [14] [15]

Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes impacts on biophysical environments , biodiversity , and other resources. [1] [2] The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity . The term was first used in the technical sense by Russian geologist Alexey Pavlov , and was first used in English by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in reference to human influences on climax plant communities. [3] The atmospheric scientist Paul Crutzen introduced the term " anthropocene " in the mid-1970s. [4] The term is sometimes used in the context of pollution emissions that are produced as a result of human activities but applies broadly to all major human impacts on the environment. [5] |
