RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BIODIVERSITY AND STABILITY

Question 1

High Biodiversity = High Stability

Answer 1

The higher the biodiversity the higher the resistance and resilience (stability) of
the ecosystem.

Question 2

This figure shows?

Answer 2

a high biodiversity in an ecosystem
wherein, there are 2 sources of food for the animals. So, if the wildflowers will be out of the picture the ecosystem will still survive because there is still one option left for survival which is the
grass.

Question 3

Low Biodiversity = Low stability

Answer 3

With low biodiversity, only one source of food may die, the whole system will collapse.
Grass – Grasshopper – Mouse – Snake
In this biodiversity, once that the source of food (grass) will disappear the whole ecosystem will die because there is no other source of food.
