How does loss of Biodiversity affect the ecosystem? By: Younis Al-Sallaj April 29,2012 How does loss of Biodiversity affect the ecosystem?

Biodiversity Biodiversity is the variation within a species in an ecosystem. Biodiversity has beneficial effects and disastrous effects. Interactions between organisms may allow the environment and the organisms to stay healthy. Another beneficial thing about biodiversity is that if there is a disease or insect that attacks a certain organism, the other organisms can stay alive.

As you can see in this food web, the variation of species allow them to stay alive by eating another organism. If one or two organisms are missing, it could mess up the whole cycle.

As a result of biodiversity, there is a huge animal population As a result of biodiversity, there is a huge animal population. When the prey population increases,the predator population increases. This happens, because the predators need the prey for energy, so when the prey population increases, they take advantage of it. Then when the prey populations decrease, they will reproduce and have a better chance of surviving.

The variation in plants provide us with different medicine for sicknesses.

Apple Tree Banana Tree Cherry Tree Pear Tree

Medicine There are many different kinds of medicine that keeps most of the ecosystem healthy. Tylenol and motrin are two different medicines that are pain relievers.

The Biodiversity(variation) of food, medicine, and species around us is what keeps us healthy, active, and energized.

There are different kinds of medicine in trees, but if these trees get destroyed then there will be a loss of Biodiversity, and will cause more people to be sick

If any animal is removed from this food web, it would destroy the rest of the food web, and could never recover to its original state. This is the effect of Loss of Biodiversity.

Conclusion Loss of Biodiversity will cause the whole ecosystem to collapse. There will be no food and medicine, which will cause everyone to die because of hunger and sickness. Even losing one type of species can disrupt the stability of the ecosystem. If this has a great impact, the ecosystem may never return to its original state.
