You are required to research and write on “The Impact of Land-Use Change on Species Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Agricultural Landscapes.” The study should examine how modifications in land use—such as conversion of natural habitats to farmland or changes in crop management practices—affect biodiversity, ecological interactions, and ecosystem services. The overview should introduce the topic by explaining the importance of maintaining species diversity for ecosystem stability, productivity, and resilience, and why understanding the ecological consequences of land-use changes is critical for sustainable agricultural and conservation practices.
Work Requirements:
Prepare a research paper of approximately 275 words in APA format, to be submitted by 7th December 2025.
