This sad statistic, according to experts, talks about the threat of a sharp reduction in the number of animals, the disappearance of species diversity of some plants.
the world’s biodiversity was reduced to a dangerous point to 58%, which may adversely affect the functioning of ecosystems and the sustainability of human society, said in an article published in the new issue of the journal Science.
«We know that the loss of species diversity affects the functioning of the ecosystem, but as happening – not well understood. We are convinced that, in many parts of the world we are approaching a situation where in order to maintain ecosystem functions, it will be necessary to intervene man “- say researchers from Imperial College London
On the basis of the British scientists obtained data developed biosphere system. in which there are certain organisms. Only 14 such biozones, according to the criteria Bailey was derived. Tim Newbold and his team came to a disappointing conclusion, at least 60% of these areas are poluprigodnymi and biosystem them on the brink of extinction, the sources said. Reductions in species diversity of more than 20% leads to disastrous consequences.
The extinction of many species of animals, bacteria, fish assist deforestation, pollution of water bodies and the atmosphere. Reducing the nature of the human influence would preserve and develop certain kinds of living organisms, in order to stabilize their population in the world. Scientists estimate that more than half destroyed Biosystems is located in United States and Canada, this is due to high industrialization of these areas. Russia this problem in the near future will not be affected.
