Recent studies conducted by researchers from the College of Biological Sciences at the University of California highlight the impacts of unstable biodiversity in small ecosystems on the health of living organisms and ecosystems as a whole. The review of the conducted research refers to the complex web of life at the microscale, accentuating the important role of unseen organisms.
One of the conclusions is that human activity accelerates the disruption of species biodiversity in different ecosystems - from deserts to oceans and forests. However, the effects of these actions on the microscale, which often remain unnoticed, also have high significance.
The 'web of life' at the microscale plays a key role in the evolution and sustainability of the surrounding environment, and, according to scientists, requires deeper study to understand its impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems as a whole.
