Abstract

The rapid decline of biodiversity and the widespread presence of chemical contaminants in ecosystems have raised significant concerns about their combined effects on ecological resilience and human health. This article reviews the current state of knowledge on the interactions between biodiversity loss and toxic substances, highlighting their potential synergistic impacts on various trophic levels and ecosystem processes. By synthesizing data from diverse ecological and toxicological studies, we aim to shed light on the complex interplay between these two critical factors and their implications for environmental management and conservation efforts.
