If the number of photosynthetic organisms on the earth decreased drastically, what would happen?
The percentage of Oxygen in the atmosphere will decrease. This will make it more difficult for organisms to get enough Oxygen to carry on cellular respiration needed for life.
If the number of photosynthetic organisms decrease the amount of Oxygen in the atmosphere will also decrease.
This is why the deforestation of the earth is of such great concern. The forest, especially the rain forest are the greatest producers of Oxygen on the land.
Pollution of the Ocean is of even greater concern. The photosynthetic organisms in the ocean are the earth's greatest source of Oxygen. If pollutions kills significant numbers of these microscopic organisms other life will become much more difficult and impossible for some species.

A sharp drop in photosynthetic organisms would result in a reduction in oxygen production, which would upset ecosystems and the food chain, lowering oxygen levels and potentially affecting humans as well as other species. It would also have an impact on the atmosphere's carbon dioxide balance, which could be linked to global climate changes.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
