A study conducted at the Research Centre for Ecological Change, University of Helsinki investigated how the diversity of natural communities affects their stability amid rapid environmental change.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study show that diverse natural communities are more stable over time than those with fewer species. This is due to the fact that different species respond differently to environmental change \u2013 while some species suffer, others can continue functioning and help maintain the stability of the community as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also observed that the mechanisms associated with stability vary between taxonomic groups: for some, stability is mainly based on the number of species, while the key factor for others is the functional composition of the community and the way in which species traits supplement each other.<\/p>\n<p>The study was based on an exceptionally comprehensive dataset covering the distributions of 900 species\u2014including birds, butterflies and moths, small and large mammals, and freshwater phytoplankton\u2014in Finland over a 20-year period.\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.helsinki.fi\/en\/news\/biodiversity-loss\/diversity-key-ecosystem-stability\">Read more at University of Helsinki<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/76558-diversity-is-key-to-ecosystem-stability\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/diversity-is-key-to-ecosystem-stability\/\">Diversity Is Key to Ecosystem Stability<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[909,18939,18940,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-140279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-diversity","tag-ecosystem-stability","tag-helsinki-universityy","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
