Ecosystems: more than 1,400 organizations to describe them

A great study involved more than 1,400 organizations and more than 100 specialists around the world. A study that world experts from the biodiversity give life to programs from storage. The team of researchers from the University of New South Wales in Australia created the first classification complete with ecosystems of the world. 10% of the world’s ecosystems are artificially created by humans.

The negative aspects suffer as the animals lose their habitat and thus have to find new shelters or risk extinction forever. In order to create positive solutions, it is therefore necessary to thoroughly study the complex interrelationship of ecosystems. Also understand how much we damaged them. For example, ecosystems such as tropical forests, huge rivers and coral reefs are known, but others are not. The latter: seamounts, lakes under ice caps and ecosystems under rocks.

The new full classification of world ecosystems is characterized by having one hierarchy on six levels. The upper level divides the planet into 5 kingdoms with earth, freshwater, seawater, underground and atmospheric ecosystems. The second and third levels have 25 biomes and 110 functional ecosystem groups. They will provide the experts with valuable ideas for future projects management And storage.

The lower levels of the hierarchy are based on the integration of existing national classifications. They will support regional studies and scientific observations that are also important for the sustainability of the environment. Here it is essential to have world control maps of endangered species. A goal that humanity will have to achieve collectively.
