Climate change leads to loss of biodiversity worldwide. However, ecosystems with a higher biodiversity in the first place might be less affected a new study. Scientists found that when they experimentally warmed meadows, the diversity of nematode worms living in the soil went down in monocultures, whereas the opposite was true for meadows with many different herbaceous plant species.
A new global analysis of forest habitat loss and wildlife extinction risk published July 19 in the journal Nature shows that species most at risk live in areas just beginning to see the impacts of human activities such as hunting, mining, logging and ranching.
At one level extinction is normal and natural. Most of the diversity of life on Earth that has ever existed is now gone, and all species will one day pass from being extant to being extinct.
It is designed to impart & institute pioneering trends in the fields of Life & Environmental Sciences including their manifold applications.Proceedings of the Conference would treat by its Special Research Talks, Research Contributions in the form of Technical Paper Presentation Sessions & Poster Presentation devoted to Biodiversity, Climate Change & Environmental Sciences branches and disciplines related to Theoretical, Applied and Application Life Sciences.
