IMPACT OF HUMAN BEHAVIORS FROM DENMARK ON BIODIVERSITY

POPULATION

• As of 2011, Denmark was at a population of 5,529,888.
• As of 2012, Denmark was at a population of 5,580,516.
• Makes it 111th most populated country.

HABITAT ALTERATION

• Is a change done to a certain environment where organism and species live in.
• This mainly causes issues like pollution, invasive species, and aquaculture.
• Physical damage is also a type of alteration such as poor fishing gear.

INVASIVE SPECIES

• Any kind of living organism which wan't born into a particular ecosystem.
• Grows and reproduces quickly, allowing it to spread.
• Could cause harm to this ecosystem.
• Alitta succinea (rag warm) is known to alter nutrients in sediment.
• Affects sediment dwellers in Denmark.

POLLUTION

• When gathering takes place in an atmosphere of different substances
• Causes ecosystem to degrade, harm and endanger human health
• Air pollution is a problem in Denmark
• This includes ultra fine particles ( health hazardous) in the city and nitrogen fallout
• On a worldwide level, most serious problem is the co2

HARVESTING OF SPECIES

• Denmark was once filled with trees although over time became cultivated
• Agriculture and forest were cut down
