Freshwater aquatic ecosystems in Asia have high Degree flora and fauna Support diversity. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

In the Atlantic forest landscape, abundance and a diversity of small mammals Support were lower in small and medium-sized fragments than in large fragments and continuous forest, and in isolated compared to connected fragments Degree (Pardini et al., 2005). [ DEFCHILE 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

The Sundarbans supports a diversity of wildlife Support and is at great risk due to rising sea level. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

The floristic Dimension diversity of these forests Support is high (Lott et al., 1987; Gentry, 1988b, 1995; Trejo, 1998) and they harbor a considerable number of endemic species, with nearly 60% of the species present in these forests occurring exclusively in Mexico (Rzedowski, 1991a).

For example, converting non-forest land to forest will typically increase the diversity of flora and fauna Support , except in situations where biologically diverse non-forest ecosystems, such as native grasslands, are replaced by forests consisting of single or a few species. [ 14IPCCSRL 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

Fragmented forest patches and forest near clearance edges are susceptible to an array of human and bio-climatological impacts (Malcolm 1994; Laurance and Bierregard 1997; Laurance et al. 1997, 1998; Cochrane and Schulze 1999; Nepstad et al. 1999), and the isolation of forest fragments also affects composition and diversity of local plant and animal communities Support (Miller and Harris 1977; Wilcox 1980; Karieva 1987).

Coastal zones are characterized by a rich Degree diversity of ecosystems Support and a great number of socioeconomic activities. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

Many species will be able to adapt, but in some instances, a reduction of species Support diversity is highly likely. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]

In many cases the loss of species Support diversity associated with forest clearing leads to a long-term transition from a forest to a fire and/or grazing-maintained, relatively low diversity grassland with significantly lower carbon content than the original forest.

Globally, that means safeguarding the Earth 's capacity to support life in all its Support diversity, and respecting the limits of the planet 's natural resources. [ 1EUROPAENV 0 MCLH 01/04/2016 ]
