Tropical Storm Washi affected many different levels of ecology, but what it affected the most was community, ecosystem, and biosphere.
Community: a community is a gathering of different populations that share and live in one place. The flooding in Tropical Storm Washi deducted the human population in that area, as well as the smaller plants and animals such as the Tarsier (monkey), Carabao (water buffalo), and sampaguita (a small swamp flower). As a whole, every population in the communities that were hit were affected.
Ecosystem: An ecosystem is all organisms living in the same place with same physical environment. The ecosystem that Tropical Storm Washi hit was left in disaster; half a million people and countless animals were affected. The islands that were hit with the worst, Mindanao and Palawan, were not prepared for the tropical storm in any way. The streets were filled with flipped cars, bodies, and belongings. Animals that lived in the lowlands had nowhere to go, their homes swept away with the ferocity of the storm. The Philippines were badly affected by Tropical Storm Washi.
Bioshpere: Biosphere is the entire planet including all organisms and physical environments. When the storm hit land, mudslides were created. The mud made a barrier for the suns energy, making heat reflect off of the mud layered ground and back into the atmoshpere. This caused the temperatures to rise around the Philippines as well as neighboring countries like Taiwan, Brunei, and Hong Kong. Also, the temperature of the oceans around the Philippino islands would also rise to, affecting many different water animals as well.
