“…Aquatic ecosystems will be affected by global warming in a variety of ways, such as melting glaciers, increased sea levels, more frequent storm events, ocean acidification, salinity changes, ocean temperature rises, and marine heat waves [ 34 ]. Global warming and the synchronous increase in glacial meltwater are the two main factors driving the input of natural elements from land into lakes and oceans, and certain human factors have also increased the input of heavy metal elements.…”

Since industrialization, global temperatures have continued to rise. Human activities have resulted in heavy metals being freed from their original, fixed locations. Because of global warming, glaciers are melting, carbon dioxide concentrations are increasing, weather patterns are shifting, and various environmental forces are at play, resulting in the movement of heavy metals and alteration of their forms. In this general context, the impact of heavy metals on ecosystems and organisms has changed accordingly. For most ecosystems, the levels of heavy metals are on the rise, and this rise can have a negative impact on the ecosystem as a whole. Numerous studies have been conducted to analyze the combined impacts of climate change and heavy metals. However, the summary of the current studies is not perfect. Therefore, this review discusses how heavy metals affect ecosystems during the process of climate change from multiple perspectives, providing some references for addressing the impact of climate warming on environmental heavy metals.
