Importance of biodiversity
Generation of soils and maintenance of soil quality. Maintenance of air quality. Maintenance of water quality. Pest Control. Detoxification and decomposition of wastes. Pollination and crop production. Provision of food security. Provision of health care (Medicines). Income generation. Spiritual / cultural value. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
