Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. Back in 1993, the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly decided we needed an International Day for Biological Diversity(IDB)to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues, now...
Ecosystem functions can be defined as all aspects of the structure and processes of ecosystems with the capacity to produce services that satisfy human needs directly or indirectly (Hooper et al., 2005). Gómez-Baggethun and de Groot (2010) distinguish between potential benefits associated with ...
can be seen in the WWF annual Report,where species population trends are increasing by 7% in high-income countries and declining in middle-and low-income countries by 31% and 60% respectively.It is self-evident that growth,as currently defined,has a major negative impact upon biodiversity.What...

As taxonomic species diversity alone, however, misses much of the overall diversity of an ecosystem31, measures of ecosystem functions can be additionally addressed to describe the state of an ecosystem. Ecosystem functions are often defined as the biological, physical, and geochemical processes that...
Effective climate action tends to be good for biodiversity and nature, too. Many companies, and business leaders, are all-in on fighting the climate crisis, working to decarbonize for the benefit of stakeholders at every level. A company’s nature strategy—defined as ...
We expected to find more scientific publications on the response of biodiversity to the grazing management regimes that are specific to dehesas, such as livestock type, animal density, or grazing pressure. Similar studies can be found in the assessment of Mediterranean grasslands [108,109,110,111...
There are three species that can be defined as using mangroves as a fisheries habitat, defined as using this habitat disproportionately more than other habitats. On the East Coast, mangroves are a habitat for juvenile parore, on the West Coast they are a habitat for grey mullet juveniles and ...
In contrast, if stability is defined at the species level, then more diverse assemblages can actually have lower species-level stability. This is because there is a limit to the number of individuals that can be packed into a particular community, such that as the number of species in the ...
This contribution proposes the meta-ecosystem concept as a natural extension of the metapopulation and metacommunity concepts. A meta-ecosystem is defined ... M Loreau,N Mouquet,RD Holt - 《Ecology Letters》 被引量: 519发表: 2003年 Biodiversity, Ecosystem Functioning, and Human Wellbeing Biodiversi...
