this unit is about population and ecosystems

I learned new information about the impact of population growth on ecosystems and the environment. The most challenging thing to understand was the complex relationship between population dynamics and the health of ecosystems. I feel confident about using evidence to support a claim about how human activities, such as deforestation and pollution, can disrupt ecosystems and threaten biodiversity. In order to remember the definitions of vocabulary words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards and reviewing them regularly. The most interesting information I learned was how human population growth can cause a cascade effect on ecosystems, leading to the loss of biodiversity and ecological imbalance.
