The nutrients come from the bottom sediments. This lets biomass to grow and spread. Biomass is used as food to the herbivores which means more herbivores will come, but with more herbivores come more predators.

What is species diversity diversity?
Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass.
What is the difference between genetic biodiversity and ecological biodiversity?
Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area (species richness) weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass. However, it is common for conservation biologists to speak of species diversity even when they are actually referring to species richness.
How is genetic diversity different from species diversity?
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
Species diversity is the number of what?
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
Why does extinction endanger diversity?
Extinction is the permanent removal of a species which decreases bio-diversity. Bio-diversity is measured in two fashions # of species and # of members/species these two factors together make up a regions bio diversity, therefore with the removal of a species the regions bio-diversity decreases.
What 3 examples of biodiversity?
genetic diversity species diversity ecosystem diversity
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.
What three patterns of biodiversity did Darwin note?
Divergent Evolution, Convergent Evolution, and Coevolution
What factors account for the diversity of species?
Adaptation and Species.
