- W968327614 abstract "This chapter discusses biodiversity, which represents the variety of life. The convention defines biodiversity as “the variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and ecological complexes of which they are a part: this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. Life forms of one kind or another are to be found in almost all parts of the Earth, and insects are known to exist in most of these environments except the marine ecosystem. Biodiversity is crucial to a planet's survival because as a result of it people have food, construction material, raw material for industry, and medicine, as well as the basis for all improvements to domesticated plants and animals. Biodiversity helps maintain ecosystem functions and evolutionary processes and stores and cycles nutrients essential for life, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Biodiversity absorbs and breaks down pollutants, including organic wastes, pesticides, and heavy metals. It also recharges groundwater, protects catchments, and buffers extreme water conditions. It is estimated that there are about 1.4 to 1.8 million species. This probably represents less than 20% of all species on Earth, and with only about 20,000 new species of all organisms being described each year." @default.
