Explain how climate change might affect the Earthâs ecosystems and the distribution of plant and animal species. Your discussion should probably include things like fundamental niche of species and limits of tolerance. You could also talk about how temperature and precipitation play a huge role in determining the structure of the basal species (the autotrophs (plants in terrestrial ecosystems; things like phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystem) in an ecosystem and how this would impact virtually everything in the levels of the trophic pyramid above them, primary consumers, secondary consumers etc. If you felt ambitious, you could even talk about how this might impact interspecific interactions such as: competition, mutualisms, predator prey relationships, you know, stuff like that.
