Study says nature's ability to recover from extinctions is overestimated

Original: Nature's capacity to 'bounce back' when species are lost is overestimated: study

A new study finds that ecosystems are far less resilient to species loss than previously assumed, challenging the widely held belief that nature can easily bounce back once a species disappears. The research suggests recovery times are much longer than models predicted, with implications for conservation policy and how scientists assess biodiversity risks.

Why now: The findings challenge common assumptions about ecosystem resilience, making them highly relevant to ongoing biodiversity and conservation debates.
