The destruction of ecosystems would eventually change all the organisms in the region thereby affecting five different ecological benefits normally gained from biodiversity. The first being the soil and its formation, its ability to cycle nutrients, and its stabilization involving flood and erosion. The second and third benefits being water and air and the ability for each of these to filter, purify, and stabilize the global climate. The fourth being decomposition and waste disposal as well as pest control. The final ecological benefit from biodiversity is energy transformation as a food source. These factors are important and all affect humans because each of these factors has the ability to change the climate, temperature, and therefore biome of an area.
