Describe how invasive species affect ecosystems

Invasive species also have the potential to disrupt vital ecosystem functions, such as water flow, nutrient cycling, fire systems, or soil composition. An example of this is the Tamarix species. It not only uses large amounts of water, it changes the soil chemistry, making it more saline.

Explanation:

carbon traps heat so more of it makes it hotter causing global warming. during the ice age carbon levels in the atmosphere were low so it got very cold. so the common things between them is carbon levels in the atmosphere.
