How is the species diversity related to the stability of an ecosystem?

When you have more than one species in a given niche, then if one species declines for whatever reason, there are other species which can replace it, and the ecosystem as a whole remains functional.

I can say that the increase in biodiversity is proportional to the increase of stability of an ecosystem.

How does the extinction of various species results in a less diverse ecosystem?
The diversity of an ecosystem is how many different species (or types of organisms) there are. If a species becomes extinct, then there is 1 less species in that ecosystem and there is less diversity. If more than one species dies out, then the diversity is decreased by more than one organism.
What makes an ecosystem stable?
Having a diversity of species and having resistance towards change
An ecosystem will most likely remain stable if?
There is a lot of biodiversity (different species living together)
What are the three types of bio diversity?
Genetic Diversity: the sum of all the different genes in a particular species (species: group of the same type of organisms that can easily breed and produce offspring) -there are small variances in organisms of the same species (ie height, colour). These small differences can help the species to adapt to the constantly changing world. -may help survival rate of species (monoculture vs. rich diversity species) Species Diversity: variety of species and relative abundance to the species living together in the same area. Having the variety of species live together may contribute to their health and sustainability to the ecosystem. Structural (Ecosystem) Diversity: variety of habitats, the different species that live in that habitat, and the relationships that connect the different species together.
What does the word biological diversity mean?
Diversity among and within plant and animal species in an environment. It means that each plant and each animal in an ecosystem is not exactly the same. If something like an infection or disease would affect a species, some would not be affected while the others would not.
What are relationship between ecosystem diversity and species diversity?
Genetic Diversity: 1. It is related to number of genes and their alleles found in organisms. 2. It is trait of the species. 3. It influences adaptability and distribution of a species in diverse habitats. Species Diversity: 1. It is related to number and distribution of species found in an area. 2. It is trait of the community. 3. It influences biotic interactions and stability of the community.
How does ecosystem stability relate to species diversities?
stable ecosystems have greater diversity(novanet)
How can an increase in biodiversity lead to an increase in an ecosystem stability?
An increase in bio diversity leads to increases in ecosystem stability because it will cause a constant competition. With a lot more of each species that means there's more food and more stability will arise.
Species diversity is the number of what?
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
Why are there different types of organisms in different ecosystem?
There are a number of different types of species of organisms in an ecosystem in order for it to be functional and stable. Different organisms add species diversity which increases the stability of the ecosystem. Eg. the ecosystem such as a forest can quickly regenerate after a natural disturbance such as a fire.
What 3 examples of biodiversity?
genetic diversity species diversity ecosystem diversity
How does the extinction of various species results in a less diverse ecosystem?
The diversity of an ecosystem is how many different species (or types of organisms) there are. If a species becomes extinct, then there is 1 less species in that ecosystem and there is less diversity. If more than one species dies out, then the diversity is decreased by more than one organism.
What best describes diversity in terms of natural selection?
Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.
Species diversity is the number of?
species of all six kingdoms living within an ecosystem.
Why keystone species are so important to ecosystem function?
The keystone species is critical to maintaining the stability of an ecosystem, and changes in its population indicate changes in ecosystem health.
What three patterns of biodiversity did Darwin note?
Divergent Evolution, Convergent Evolution, and Coevolution
What is an example of an external factor causing a change in the diversity of an ecosystem?
A change in temperature brings a new species to an ecosystem.
