It protects the resources and organisms that depend on one another in the ecosystem

What would be the impact on the organism and the biomes?

A rise in temperature in the tundra for the polar bears:

They would get overheated since they are prepared for the colder temps with their fur-also causes the ice to melt and alter its food supply

A decrease in rainfall for the flowers in the rainforest:

They would likely die due to a lack of water

A decrease in temperature for jackrabbit in the desert:

They would get very cold since they are used to the extreme heat

An increase in temperature for the black bear in the temperate deciduous:

They would get very hot and be trouble due to their fur and dark coloring
