How have humans affected the ecosystems?     We have affected ecosystems in almost every way imaginable!  Every time we walk out in the wilderness or bulldoze land for a new parking lot we are drastically altering an ecosystem.  We have disrupted the <A href="http://library.thinkquest.org/11353/food.htm">food chain</A>, the <A href="http://library.thinkquest.org/11353/carbon.htm">carbon cycle</A>, the <A href="http://library.thinkquest.org/11353/nitrogen.htm">nitrogen cycle</A>, and the <A href="http://library.thinkquest.org/11353/water.htm">water cycle</A>.  Mining minerals also takes its toll on an ecosystem.  We need to do our best to not interfere in these ecosystems and let nature take its toll.
