Classify each example of a loss of biodiversity as being due to habitat destruction, invasive species, overexploitation, or pollution. Habitat destruction Invasive species Overexploitation Pollution Overgrazing by livestock causes soil erosion and the loss of grass species. Clearing of a rain forest leads to the extinction of native snake species. A species native to Asia enters North America and outcompetes native species Construction of a dam makes water conditions unfavorable for aquatic species. Fertilizer runoff depletes oxygen in aquatic habitats, killing many species.
