Malgorzata Blicharska, Associate Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University, is a participant in the TV series "The Age of Nature". She explains that the more species and the more stable and complex the ecosystem is, the more resilient it is against environmental pressures – such as climate change. This episode is in English.
