Some people have proposed trying to artificially change the chemistry of seawater to make it more alkaline. What problem are they trying to address? Most organisms survive well in a highly alkaline environment, so changing the ocean's chemistry would increase our food supply. Coral reefs require an alkaline environment or they lose their zooxanthellae and become white. The ocean needs to be more alkaline so that the coral reefs can dissolve naturally to repeat the cycle of breakdown and renewal. The ocean has become increasingly acidified as it takes up CO2, harming living organisms such as coral reefs. There are too many fish in the ocean and making it more alkaline would make the numbers more manageable.

Terrestrial Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a collection of interconnected communities. It includes both living and non-living elements of specific strata. The terrestrial ecosystem is solely related to the ecosystem present on the land and covers 25 to 30% of the total earth’s surface area.
