Point out any 5 functional attributions of biodiversity.

Explanation

The major functional attributes are:
• continuity of nutrient cycles or biogeochemical cycles `(N_(2) C_(2)H_(2)O_(2) P, S `cycles)
• soil formation, conditioning or maintenance of soil health (fertility) by soil microbial diversity along with the different trophic members
• increases ecosystem productivity and provide food resources
• act as water traps, filters, water flow regulators and water purifiers (forest cover and vegetation)
• climate stability (forests are essential for rainfall, temperature regulation, `CO_(2)` absorption, which in turn regulate the density and type of vegetation)
• forest resource management and sustainable development
