United KingdomA study led by researchers at the Centre for Ecosystem Management, in collaboration with several scientific institutions, explores how ecosystems can be made more resilient to environmental changes through 'portfolio effects.' These effects occur due to natural variation across different ecological scales, from habitats to species and energy pathways, which allow ecosystems to respond flexibly to disruptions. The research, published in 'Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment,' suggests that greater biodiversity and habitat diversity enhance an ecosystem's ability to buffer against disturbances like invasive species or climate change. However, human activities such as land development, invasive species introduction, and resource extraction are reducing this natural variation, leading to decreased resilience and increased vulnerability to ecological decline.
