predict what biodiversity changes that would be expected to occur in response to changing environmental factors

Environmental changes bring changes in the biodiversity too.

Explanation:

Global temperature change caused by various factors is an example of environmental change. When the temperature changes the flowering pattern of plants and trees are found to change. Many trees bloom at seasons different from their actual blooming season.

When temperature of aquatic environment changes it poses threat to already existing aquatic life. Cold water organisms die off when they become unable to adapt to the temperature change.

The aquatic environment will then be dominated by warm water aquatic organisms. Changes in salinity, precipitation, soil nutrient content etc causes various changes in the flora and fauna of a region.
