What Are the Consequence of Biodiversity Loss?


A diversity of healthy, functioning ecosystems is essential for maintaining our quality of life and economic viability into the future. So what are the consequences of this continual loss of native plant and animal species?

Number of plant species alter number of functional groups, the biomass of plants produced in a grassland, also the amount of nutrients lost to the soil and the plant biomass consumed.

The loss of diversity has tremendous consequences for ecosystem processes. Reduced plant diversity led to changes in the way the whole ecosystem performed. Because they grew less, they also took up less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, showing that loss of biodiversity might increase the effects of climate change by reducing the ability of ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide.

We should take action now, thousand of species are threatened nowadays. If we don't make any efforts, the world will be gradually DISAPPEARING!!! We won't have a nice and peaceful home to live, our world will be darkness, and eventually we will be regretted. So do something now, being always alert about the environment around you, recycling is a good way of protecting the environment, and therefore save our biodiversity!
