Biodiversity and Ecosystem Resilience in a Changing World

The source "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Resilience" explores the foundational concepts of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience, detailing how a variety of life at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels underpins the stability of natural systems. It examines ecological mechanisms like functional redundancy and the portfolio effect, which demonstrate how diverse ecosystems are more stable and adaptable to change. Furthermore, the text identifies major human-induced threats to these vital ecological processes, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Finally, the source outlines conservation and restoration strategies—including protected areas and sustainable land use—while emphasizing the critical link between ecosystem health and human well-being, arguing for transformative change to safeguard the future of the biosphere.
