Trouble In The Temperate Forest

       In this post I will be talking about the waste water spill that accidentally happened in a forest in the eastern US. This happened when a large truck was transporting some sewage from a treatment plant that overflowed and flooded. Unfortunately when the truck was driving on the back roads to get to the next town over where the sewage could be taken care of, it swerved off of the road and dumped thousands of gallons of human waste into the forest. Obviously this is going to have a big impact on this delicate ecosystem and I will explain why this little accident is going to have some big effects.
       First of all, human waste will hurt the quality of the topsoil. Unlike animals with plant based diets human waste does not decompose easily and has most of the nutrients gone. If any bile were to make its way into a stream or creek in the forest many animals would die from diseases floating about in the water. A lot of animals do not have strong enough immune systems to handle human diseases. This bile would also destroy almost all plant life in the area it hits. The best adapted animals to survive this disaster would probably be birds or animals that can move elsewhere. The reason it would be best to just get away from the affected area is because this waste would kill the plants and negate the food chain by taking out the primary producers.  If there was a waste-water spill over the entire biome, the entire forest would fall apart.
