- Biodiversity Factsheet - Center for Sustainable Systems
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, describes the variability among living organisms across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part 1 Biodiversity shapes the ecosystem services that contribute to human well-being — material welfare, security, resilience, social relations, and health 2 Biodiversity is considered on three levels: species
- Collapse of Terrestrial Biodiversity | SpringerLink
For James P Collins and Martha L Crump (2009), the number of species of organisms living on Earth today would range from 10 million to 100 million, and Richard Monastersky (2014) accepts estimates—that include animal, plant, and fungal species—oscillating between 2 million and over 50 million
