Environmental issues impact biodiversity and ecosystem health from "summary" of NCERT Solutions - Biology for Class 12th by Dr. Madhurbhashini,Sargam Hans,Shanya Hans
The health and stability of ecosystems are closely linked to the level of biodiversity present within them. Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms in a particular area, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by ensuring that different species fulfill their respective roles and contribute to the overall functioning of the ecosystem. Environmental issues such as pollution, deforestation, climate change, and habitat destruction can have a significant impact on biodiversity. These issues can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems by reducing the number of species present, altering their interactions, and ultimately leading to a decrease in biodiversity. As a result, ecosystems become less re...
