How does the loss of biodiversity impact ecosystem health?

Explain the main causes of biodiversity loss.

Answer 1

Due to needs of resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans rely on healthy ecosystems because human needs resources such as food, clean water, disease regulation and climate regulation etc which can be provided by the ecosystem. If the ecosystem is healthy, human can harvest or get more resources from the ecosystem. The biodiversity present in the ecosystem makes the ecosystem healthy and is responsible for the presence of more resources so loss of biodiversity greatly impact ecosystem health. Climate change, pollution, destruction of habitats and invasive species are the main causes of loss of biodiversity in the ecosystem.
