Why Is Biodiversity Crucial: How Do Trophic Cascades Protect Ecosystems?
Ecosystems are not static collections of independent species; they are dynamic, non-linear networks of metabolic and energetic dependencies. At the center of ecological stability is biodiversity the variety of life across genetic, species, and community levels. When biodiversity declines, ecological networks lose functional redundancy, making whole biomes vulnerable to systemic collapse. Among the clearest demonstrations…
