Consequently, alternative markers have been proposed to determine bacterial biodiversity (Case et al. 2007; Lang et al. 2013; Mende et al. 2013).
Although market forces have often led to the loss of biodiversity, for cases where biodiversity contributes to human well-being, it is possible to design markets to provide incentives to conserve or enhance biodiversity.

Although intensive land use may be appropriate in some situations, in many cases, biodiversity conservation and commodity production can be successfully integrated.
The implications of the research are particularly relevant when considering coral reef ecosystems where, like fungi, species compete with one another for space through "overgrowth and displacement" strategies — and where in some cases biodiversity has diminished by environmental changes, including ocean acidification and human development.
In both cases, biodiversity inventories of these two environments remain incomplete.
E.g., while traditional agroforestry systems are often regarded as a potential quality matrix for the maintenance of diverse tropical forest biota [4], [8] and may thus appear as effectively contributing to global conservation, their biodiversity may in cases have little to do with the original rainforest biota.
