Chapter 5 threats to biodiversity


    • How do species become extinct affect the biosphere?

      As species become extinct, the variety of species in the biosphere decreases, which decreases the health of the biosphere. Biodiversity is the variety of life in an area that is determined by the number of different species in that area. Biodiversity increases the stability of an ecosystem and contributes to the health of the biosphere.


    • What is the best measure of biodiversity?

      The most appro- priate measures and indicators of biodiversity depend on the value or service being assessed and involve a consideration of the components of biodiversity that are involved (from genes, individuals, populations, species, and communi- ties to ecosystems) and the service that is being delivered.


    • Why do humans care about biodiversity?

      Many humans work to preserve and protect the species on Earth for future generations. In addition, there are economic, aesthetic, and scientific reasons for pre- serving biodiversity. Direct economic value Maintaining biodiversity has a direct eco- nomic value to humans.

    • Why is species diversity high in polar regions?

      This habitat represents an area with a high level of species diversity because there are so many species present in one location. Species diversity, however, is not evenly distributed over the biosphere. As you move geographically from the polar regions to the equator, species diversity increases.
