What is the ultimate consequence of synthetic fertilizer use?

In almost all chains of consequences, what happens over time as the consequences unfold?

With such huge increases in population, why has there not been a direct and equivalent
increase in urban development (i.e., why is it such a small proportion of habitable land use)?

1. The examples of bioresources given in the video in the lesson include forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural land.

2. The driving factor behind how humans use land is to meet their needs for food, shelter, and resources.

3. The ultimate consequence of synthetic fertilizer use is environmental degradation, including water pollution, soil depletion, and loss of biodiversity.

4. In almost all chains of consequences, over time as the consequences unfold, there is a gradual and cumulative impact on the environment and ecosystems.

5. Despite huge increases in population, there has not been a direct and equivalent increase in urban development because of factors such as economic constraints, environmental regulations, and limited infrastructure capacity in urban areas.

6. The heat island effect refers to the phenomenon where urban areas experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas due to human activities, such as buildings, roads, and vehicles, absorbing and retaining heat. This can lead to increased energy consumption, air pollution, and health risks for residents in urban areas.
