Organisms naturally compete in the wild for survival, however if any one organism were to go extinct, then it would affect the entire ecosystem. Animals, Plants, and all manner of life play certain roles within their ecosystems. Bees for example, are responsible for the pollination of plants, plants provide shade and food for animals, and carnivores eat other animals, keeping their population controlled. If these organisms were to go extinct, then it would affect the balance in the ecosystem, and affect the versatility of the ecosystem. This is since organisms rely on one another. If one organism were to go extinct, it would mean that the rest of the organisms in that ecosystem would be affected, since they cannot rely on that organism any longer. This affects the ability of the ecosystem to endure environmental changes, and possibly result in the extinction of other organisms. This also results in a domino effect, where after one organism goes extinct, another organism will also go extinct since it relied on that organism for survival. Obviously certain organisms are more vital to ecosystems than others, but the extinction of any organism will have its due effect on the ecosystem. Besides for only environmental effects, there is also financial benefit to biodiversity. Biodiversity increases crop yields, which is important for mass production of food items, something that has become very important in the modern day. In monoculture, there is only one type of crop that is grown. That one crop will always use the same nutrients, meaning that after a while the soil will begin to deplete of those nutrients. That is why it is important for farmers to rotate crops. This also applies to natural ecosystems, as if there is no diversity of organisms, the overall health of the ecosystem will go down.
