The Portneuf River watershed is a heavily used and anthropogenically altered system. There is an overlap of many anthropogenically sourced chemicals that humans are exposed to regularly. From 1890 to 1990, anthropogenically created Nr increased almost ninefold. It also grows in anthropogenically disturbed soils, unlike its wilder congeners "C.macrocarpa" and "C.guianensis". These cobras can adapt to a range of habitats, from natural to anthropogenically impacted environments. Anthropogenically caused fires release large amounts of carbon as CO directly into the atmosphere. A main concern in environmental ethics is anthropogenically induced mass extinction within the biosphere.
