The seriousness of plant extinction cannot be underestimated. The extinction of plants will certainly have an effect on the mammal, amphibians and bird population as the reductions in plant life could reduce the food source of these creatures. As every living thing requires oxygen to survive this is also a negative effect. Also, as diversity of plants decreases, the ability of plants to adapt to their surroundings in regards to climate and environment is also reduced. Researchers should be following the same protocol regarding extinction for plants as they do for mammals etc. and be aware that the rapid extinction of plants is very serious.
