Selection20: Impacts of biodiversity loss on ocean ecosystem services.

Considering biodiversity and  the ecosystem. Biodiversity plays in important role in its services. Local species richness improves indeed the ecosystem productivity and stability.  Marine ecosystems offer great variety of goods and services, including necessary food resources for millions of people, especially that a wide population lives close to the coast. However, marine biodiversity is being human dominated, experiencing a loss of species and unknown consequences. This marine biodiversity loss is impairing the ocean’s ability to provide food, and water quality and other disastrous consequences. These changes were caused in first place by exploitation, pollution and destruction of habitats, or even climate change and ocean perturbations. With the usage of experimental approaches along trajectories of diversity loss and recovery. Positive relationships between diversity and ecosystem functions and services have been found. The findings cites that the omission of locally adapted species impede the ability of marine ecosystems to feed the human population that keeps increasing. Moreover, it destructs their stability and compensation potential in a rapidly changing marine environment.
