Causes
- 1. Metabolic rates increase.
- 2. Changes in egg development and hatching rates.
- 3. Thriving of introduced species.
- 4. Increased toxicity of pollutants.
- 5. Reduced disease resistance.
- 6. Species interdependence problems, especially within the food chain.

Effects
- 1. Growth of species means that food is needed.
- 2. Reduced population viability, reduced reproduction success.
- 3. New conditions may be suitable for their range of tolerance.
- 4. Concentration of pollutants will increase.
- 5. "Zone of physiological stress".
- 6. Pollinators and seed dispersal will be effected.
