What word describes a wide range of species within an ecosystem?
A community is the word used to describe a wide range of species within an ecosystem.
What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
Which factor can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Further disturbances or long-term climate changes or introduction of nonavtie species?
Yes, they all can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Any of these could cause an ecosystem to spiral out of control, or could cause it to settle into a new ecosystem depending on the specifics.
What do you call the a species that has a huge impact on an ecosystem even if the species is not very abundant?
keystone species is a species that has an unusually large impact on its ecosystem.
What happens to the ecosystem when a predator species is extint?
Typically, the species that it ate overpopulate, and the ecosystem is disrupted.
What is the term to describe a species that influence the survival of many others in an ecosystem?
keystone species

Define biodiversity and describe threats to biodiversity.?
biodiversity is the assortment of species in an ecosystem.
How many different species of animals are located in alpine ecosystem?
This depends on which alpine ecosystem it is, the climate, and the predators within it. Different alpine ecosystems have quite varied animal populations.
What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
A snake is bought into a new ecosystem that is hotter than its old ecosystem. the snake cannot survive in the high temperature and dies. which is the best way to describe this snake in the new ecosyst?
Non-native Species
What are the major components of the biophysical environment of landforms weather and climate and ecosystem?
== == Pattern - Where? Process (physical)- Why? Process (biological) - Why? Species Adaptations
Define the fod web?
A food web describe the eating relationship between species within an ecosystem or a particular living area

How could climate change or new species affect an ecosystem's stability?
These are two different questions and need two different answers. Climate change could mean warmer temperatures, causing heat stress in the flora or fauna of the ecosytem. It could mean more prolonged droughts, so that some species can not longer survive in the environment. It could alternatively mean more frequent floods, causing destruction of specimens and destabilising the ecosystem. Greater storm activity associated with climate change can also have a deleterious effect on some species, destabilising the ecosystem. Climate change can even favour one species over another and, if they are competitors or prey, create an imbalance that leads to extinction. Introducing just one new usually has a lesser impact on an ecosystem, although any unforseen effect could result in localised disaster and widespread species extinction. Any loss of plant species could potentially lead to serious erosion and loss of topsoil and even, in the extreme, desertification.
