About Book
"Biodiversity is a broad term that refers to the variety of life on Earth. Thus, biodiversity is the primary source of living resources, which are required to provide people's fundamental critical requirements. Biodiversity is often classified hierarchically into three categories: genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecological diversity. The human factor contributes directly or indirectly to the variables that adversely influence the Earth's biodiversity. Regardless of the source of the causes, biodiversity loss, conservation, and sustainable management are all shared human responsibilities. As a result, biodiversity management is critical in every sector. Additionally, ecosystems perform vital functions such as pollination, seed dispersal, climate regulation, water purification, nutrient cycling, and pest control. Biodiversity is also valuable for undiscovered advantages, such as novel medications and other previously unknown services. Humans also appreciate biodiversity culturally, for spiritual or religious reasons, for example. The intrinsic value of biodiversity refers to its inherent worth, which is unrelated to its monetary or other monetary value. This is a more philosophical idea, which might be considered the inalienable right to exist.
This book provides a synoptic overview of the current problems and prospects for biodiversity management in a changing world based on a focus on selected ecosystems across the world. It discusses the path forward to maintain and improve ecosystems and conserve biodiversity. It underscores the ways in which our future is tied to that of Earth's threatened species and demonstrates exactly why biodiversity management is so vitally important for us. It explores yeasts biodiversity and its significance, biodiversity loss in freshwater mussels, biodiversity of coastal lagoon ecosystems and ecology in microbial communities. It also deals with biodiversity of rhizophora-derived endophytic fungi, restoring forest biodiversity, freshwater habitats and biodiversity. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of biodiversity management. The topics included in it are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to students. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
