For this assignment, you need to identify a recent news article discussing some aspect of ecosystems (human impacts on a particular ecosystem, something new discovered about how ecosystems work, etc.). Ideally, the article will highlight the idea that the difference components in an ecosystem work together and exhibit feedbacks (changing one thing changes other parts of the system).
For your article, using the comment box below, provide the link to your article, and then summarize the important and interesting things that you learned and want to share with the rest of the class. Be sure to clarify who wrote the article, and whether or not the author(s) might have particular biases concerning the topic.
