Abstract

Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess of alleles that are suited for the environment. Ecosystem services is the benefits people obtain from ecosystems both natural and managed. In the large majority of cases a positive relationship is found between species diversity and ecosystem service provisioning which is genetic diversity is subset of biodiversity. The objective of this review is to provide information about the importance of genetic diversity in plant, animal and microbial in increment of ecosystem service. Genetic diversity have many advantage in crops, which include reduce the danger of genetic uniformity. The other and the more importance of genetic diversity is that give choice of genetic material for farmers and breeders that they select important genes for disease resistant, high yielder, good test, good agronomic character and reduce the impact of climate change. Animal genetic resources include all species, breeds and strains that are of economic, scientific and cultural interest to humankind for agriculture, both now and in the future. These genetic diversity allows farmers to select stocks or develop new breeds in response to changes in the environment, threats of disease, market conditions and societal needs, all of which are largely unpredictable. The third part of genetic diversity is the diversity of microbial, which give us a lot of ecosystem service, which more related to the regulation and support than provision and cultural. Finally, I recommend that, it is better to use this valuable resource in responsible manner to compete the impact of climate change and ever-increasing population growth.

Highlights

  • Biological diversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems [1]

  • This review focus to fill this gab and bring literatures about the importance of genetic diversity to ecosystem service

  • Biodiversity is the number of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, genetic diversity is one part of biodiversity

Summary

Introduction

Biological diversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems [1]. In the large majority of cases a positive relationship is found between species diversity and ecosystem service provisioning. There is sufficient evidence that biodiversity positively affects effectiveness or reliability of ecosystem services. In some studies mixed effects of biodiversity on ecosystem services have been found, which can be caused by complex interactions between service delivering species. Especially for natural pest regulation, pollination and cultural services (species-related recreation) abundance of certain species (functional groups) is often linked to effectiveness of ecosystem services [6]. This review focus to fill this gab and bring literatures about the importance of genetic diversity (plant animal and microbial) to ecosystem service (provision, support, regulation and cultural service)
