What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of a habitat?
The two factors that contribute to biodiversity are the richness in the number of different species available in the ecosystem, or the richness in the number of individuals of the one species.This is because each species has a role in the ecosystem on which other organisms depend for survival.
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.
Could some one Descibe the abiotic and biotic factors that affect the ecosystem?
Abiotic factors of a ecosystem are physical non living ones such as the weather, soil, a river, anything that's a not living.Biotic factors include biological influences on organisms such as the types of plants growing, and the species of animals in the ecosystem, and any factor that's living.Together abiotic and biotic factors determine the survival and growth of and organism.
What happens to the ecosystem when a predator species is extint?
Typically, the species that it ate overpopulate, and the ecosystem is disrupted.
Why do exotic species sometimes take over an ecosystem?
When exotic species are introduced into a new ecosystem, they often don't encounter the same factors that controlled the exotic species population or growth that was in the original ecosystem.
What factors affect biodiversity?
Ecosystem, genetic and cultural diversity, and the connections between these and all species.
Which of these factors does CITIES fail to consider when determining which species to cover?
Ecosystem sustainability
What factors generally cause mass extinction?
The factors that generally cause mass extinction are changes in the natural ecosystem of the species. This may make it difficult for the species to reproduce and to stay alive.
What would happen if a species disppeared from an ecosystem?
If species disappeared from an ecosystem the balance in the ecosystem will be altered.
What are the levels of organization in the ecosystem?
Level of Organization in an Ecosystem 1. Organism- the material structure of such an individual. 2. Population- a group of the same species living in one area. 3. Community- a group of diff. species living in one area. 4. Ecosystem- all biotic factors in an area and their abiotic factors. 5. Biosphere- anywhere in the world that can support life.
What is a community of organisms interacting with abiotic environmental factors called?
A community of organisms and their abiotic environment is called an ecosystem. An ecosystem includes many different types of species that work together with nonliving materials.
What are some biotic factors that would effect a pond ecosystem?
Some of the limiting factors that would affect dragonflies would be climate, rain, temperature, and other species in the environment. Species that ate the dragonflies would have the largest effect.
What is succession affected by?
The process succession is affected by various factors. The ecosystem and the different species available mainly affect succession.
What Succession affected by?
The process succession is affected by various factors. The ecosystem and the different species available mainly affect succession.
In addition to a community of different species what else does an ecosystem include?
Abiotic Factors. Water, sunlight, soil, temperature, and rocks..! :)
