Threats to plant biodiversity in arid ecosystems from "summary" of Floristic Study of Arid Ecosystem: Ecology and Phytosociology by Dr. Ekta B. Joshi,Dr. Hiren B. Soni ,Dr. Pankaj N. Joshi
Plant biodiversity in arid ecosystems faces numerous threats that can have detrimental effects on the overall ecosystem. One of the primary threats is habitat destruction due to human activities such as urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure development. These activities can lead to the loss of natural habitats for plants, reducing their diversity and disrupting the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Overgrazing by livestock is another significant threat to plant biodiversity in arid ecosystems. Grazing animals can consume large quantities of vegetation, leading to soil erosion and desertification. This can result in the loss of plant species and further degradation of the ecosystem. Invasive species also pose a threat to plant biodiversity in arid ecosystems. These non-native species can outcompete n...
