Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the total variety of life on Earth.
Ecosystem loss
Ecosystem loss refers to the degradation or destruction of natural systems
Eutrophication
Eutrophication is a process that occurs when a body of water becomes enriched with nutrients, which causes excessive plant and algae growth
Horizontal Gene Transfer
Horizontal gene transfer involves the direct exchange of genetic material between unrelated organisms, bypassing traditional parent-offspring inheritance. It is especially common in prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea).
Keystone species
A species whose effect on its ecosystem is disproportionately large relative to its abundance or biomass. Removing it produces large changes in community structure and function.
