Distinguishing natural successional and evolutionary changes in an ecosystem from those that occur because of subtle, anthropogenically driven processes is extremely difficult.

The ecosystem components important in maintaining biodiversity are genetic variability, species composition, and the structure and function of these species in the ecosystem.
