Among the options provided, **the increase of greenhouse gases** is the shift that negatively disrupts global ecosystems the most. This is because increased greenhouse gases contribute to climate change, which has widespread and severe effects on ecosystems worldwide, including rising temperatures, altered weather patterns, and ocean acidification, all of which can lead to habitat loss and species extinction.

While the elimination of the Aral Sea, the introduction of the potato, and the spread of rabbits can also disrupt ecosystems locally or regionally, the increase of greenhouse gases is a global issue affecting ecosystems on a much larger scale.
