Biodiversity is important for ecosystem health because it is a essential for the support all life on the planet, being the wide range of living organisms necessary for provide a functioning environment, since all the organisms and resources are important for life, like oxygen, water, food, and so on. Without plant diversity there is less oxygen, as well less organisms in the overall food chain and so on, because of that the ecologists consider it a important factor for ecosystem health.
