Forest biodiversity is the foundation of many ecosystem services, and the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning and processes (BEF) has been a central issue in biodiversity studies.
Forest biodiversity is the foundation of many ecosystem services, and individual species traits play an important role in determining ecosystem functioning and processes (Naeem et al. 2009).
For many women, biodiversity is the foundation of their livelihoods, their cultural beliefs and even their basic survival.
Coral reefs are hotspots of oceanic biodiversity, forming the foundation of ecosystems that are important both ecologically and for their direct practical impacts on humans.
This may indicate that forest structure (height) and resource (biomass, which is better related to tree age and height than to species diversity) are more likely the foundation to support biodiversity rather biodiversity being a cause to determine forest productivity and biomass as some studies suggested.
Then in 1997 they met Judy Logback, a lanky Kansan with wild blond hair who was volunteering for a foundation promoting biodiversity in Ecuador.
Slow Food has formed a foundation for biodiversity that helps sustain presidia around the world, and they can be sustained in many ways.

By comprehensively evaluating existing disturbance regimes and how they are influencing these factors, managers can help maintain or restore the ecological foundation for biodiversity.
In many marine ecosystems, biodiversity critically depends on foundation species such as corals and seagrasses that engage in mutualistic interactions [1 3].
Recent opposition to the rangeland management paradigm of achieving uniform, moderate grazing across entire landscapes has emerged because heterogeneity is recognized as the foundation of biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and multifunctionality of agricultural landscapes.
