According to standard biological curricula (such as NCERT Class 12), the loss of biodiversity in a region generally leads to three major consequences: (6) Filo +2

. Decrease in plant production: A reduction in species richness often results in lower primary productivity or overall plant growth within the ecosystem.

. Lowered resistance to environmental perturbation: Ecosystems with lower biodiversity become less stable and are more vulnerable to environmental stresses, such as droughts.

. Increased variability in ecosystem processes: The loss of species leads to unpredictable fluctuations in critical processes like water use efficiency, pest/disease cycles, and plant productivity.
