Gradual change in ecosystems is often underestimated.
On #InsideBiodiversity, Prof. Helmut Hillebrand explains how small shifts can build up over time and space. 💬 “Even small environmental changes already impact the system… and accumulate.”

🌿 In this episode of #InsideBiodiversity, @smartenwinter.bsky.social unpacks the curious logic behind how scientists classify species — and the consequences that follow.
🌍 What does “non-native” really mean in a world shaped by movement?

#InsideBiodiversity guest Emma Marris on ecosystem integrity:
“Typically integrity means how similar is the ecosystem to a reference ecosystem… either a historically defined system or a system that is just believed to have as little human influence as possible.”
