The Earth biodiversity helps to preserve the balance of nature on our planet. A habitat which has reached balance between the different number of species present and the natural resources available within it is habitat in equilibrium. Such habitats, with their biodiversity largely unchanged, have a much more chance of surviving threats than those with lesser biodiversity

The rapid erosion of biodiversity is among the biggest challenges human society is facing. Concurrently, major efforts are in place to quantify changes in biodiversity, to understand the consequences for ecosystem functioning and human wellbeing, and to develop sustainable management strategies. Based on comprehensive bibliometric analyses covering 134,321 publications, we report systematic spatial biases in biodiversity-related research
