This essay will first focus on the change in biodiversity by climate warming and then examine other influences like temperature change, invasive alien species, and land-use change - today and in the future.

Establishing the dimension of the changes in biodiversity, this essay considers negative, and positive impacts on biodiversity and suggests improvements and perspectives. As geodiversity determines biodiversity as well as ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity, it addresses the complexity of species richness and spatial scale in different biomes.

Biodiversity has changed and is changing temporarily with seasons and natural ecological disturbances. Nevertheless, anthropogenic influences amplify these processes changing biotic, abiotic, and movement factors. This affects biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and productivity which condition ecosystem services, and human well-being.
