The Earth in transition : patterns and processes of biotic impoverishment / edited by George M. Woodwell.
"The Earth's biotic resources are experiencing a spreading crisis, which is leading not only to the most rapid loss of species in the past 65 million years, but also causing abrupt changes in the structure and function of natural communities. This disturbance, unfortunately, is the result...
