our planet is threatened by nuclear wars, climate change and degradation of biodiversity. the first two dangers are relatively focused on, but biodiversity degradation is not properly considered yet. species diversity is mostly composed of biodiversity and is considered an index of changes in ecosystems. many of researchers think of higher species diversity as an index of bio-system’s stability...
