Question : How is biodiversity important for ecosystem functioning ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Biodiversity PLAYS a major role in many ecosystem services that nature provides. Pure oxygen : The Amazon forest is estimated to produce through photosynthesis `20%` of the total oxygen in the Earth.s atmosphere. Pollination : Without which plants can not give us fruits or seeds is another service ecosystems provide through pollinators butterflies, bees, bumblebees, birds and bats. Flood and soil erosion control : Plants help water retention, percolation and PREVENT soil erosion. Nutrient replenishment : Plant biomass that falls on ground is the biggest SOURCE of recycled nutrients after decomposition. Recycle : Waste recycling by microbes and other insects etc. without which the earth would simply become a huge pile of garbage and polluting material. Aesthetic pleasure : That we derive from nature by walking through thick woods, watching spring flowers in FULL bloom or waking up to a bulbul.s song in the morning. |
