Environment and Evolution

Welcome to the Environment and Evolution page! Here, you will find various factors that influence both the evolution and environment of biological systems. 

Environment

  • External Factors (e.g., pH, Temperature, Ion Concentration)
  • Human Activity (e.g., Pollution) and Climate Change
  • Switch of the Environment (Terrestrial/Aerial/Aquatic)
