What is the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

This law highlights the natural tendency of energy to spread out and for systems to move towards a state of equilibrium. In simpler terms, it means that energy tends to disperse and become less usable, leading to an increase in overall disorder.

What are benefits of biodiversity

Biodiversity provides essential ecosystem services such as pollination, water purification, and soil fertility. It enhances ecosystem resilience and stability, supports economic activities through agriculture and medicine, and offers cultural and aesthetic benefits. Biodiversity also plays a crucial role in climate regulation by sequestering carbon and moderating local climates.
