Promoting biodiversity enriches urban ecosystems from "summary" of Breaking Through Concrete by David Hanson,Edwin Marty
Promoting biodiversity in urban ecosystems is vital for creating a healthy and vibrant environment. By encouraging a variety of plant and animal species to thrive in urban areas, we can enhance the overall balance and resilience of the ecosystem. This diversity not only adds beauty and interest to our surroundings but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological functions that support life in the city. When we cultivate a wide range of plants in urban spaces, we provide food and habitat for a diverse array of insects, birds, and other wildlife. This interconnected web of life contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem by ensuring that essential ecological processes, such as pollination and nutrient cycling, can occur efficiently. By promoting biodiversity, we can create a more robust and self-sustaining urban ecosystem that is better e...
