Unit 4 Ecosystems Background Introduction The abundance of a species and species diversity affect how natural resources are processed within an ecosystem. This pattern of processing contributes to functional and compositional characteristics of an ecosystem. But many ecosystems around the world are currently experiencing significant changes in species composition‚ abundance‚ and diversity due to the influence of human activity. These changes have‚ more often than not‚ led to a reduction in species
