Effects of urbanization on biodiversity:A review

Abstract

Abstract: Urbanization is being developed rapidly in the world.Urban development not only seriously changed the living environment of organisms,but also caused the rapid variance in biodiversity.In this paper,the characters of urban habitats were summarized,with the effects of urbanization on biodiversity reviewed.The pattern of biodiversity distribution along a gradient from village to urban was analyzed,and further study on the relationship between urbanization and biodiversity was suggested.

Key words: Rice, Allelopathic variety, Water, Fertility and light, Allelocehmical, Secondary metabolite
