Importance of plant diversity for ecosystem resilience in arid regions from "summary" of Floristic Study of Arid Ecosystem: Ecology and Phytosociology by Dr. Ekta B. Joshi,Dr. Hiren B. Soni ,Dr. Pankaj N. Joshi
The diverse range of plant species in arid regions plays a crucial role in maintaining the resilience of ecosystems under challenging conditions. These plants have adapted to survive in harsh environments with limited water availability and high temperatures, making them essential for the overall health and stability of the ecosystem. Plant diversity in arid regions provides a variety of ecosystem services that are vital for supporting biodiversity and promoting ecosystem resilience. These services include soil stabilization, nutrient cycling, water regulation, and habitat provision for various animal species. The presence of a wide range of plant species also increases the overall productivity of the ecosystem and helps to maintain a balance in the food chai...Similar Posts
