The factors that affect the species diversity?
-Invasive species- When a new species that is not native moves into an area, it often won't have natural predators and can thus survive better than natives. They take over, and lower diversity levels by killing off other species -Keystone species- a keystone species is a species which many others in the food chain rely on, if the keystone species has a problem or decrease in population the diverersity of the population will also decrease. - Availability of resources- For instance food, shelter, nutrients, notice that rain forests which are abundant in rain forests show much diversity, while a tundra shows very little diversity. - Stability of the community- for instane, tempreture shifts will cause a decrease in diversity because certain species have a small range of tempreture that they can live in. This is why coral reefs are decreasing in diveristy, they are very limited in teh tempreture they can live in. I wouldn't agree that natural selection affects diversity levels as it is present at all times, in every ecosystem and does not fluctuate.
How do you think competition from humans affects biodiversity?
Human competition suppresses biodiversity. Human activity destroys habitat leading to the extinction of many species.
Which consequence could most likely be associated with a decrease in biodiversity in an area?
A decrease in biodiversity can lead to ecosystem instability, making it more vulnerable to environmental changes and stressors such as climate change, invasive species, or disease. This loss of species diversity can disrupt food webs and reduce ecosystem services, like pollination and water purification, ultimately impacting human livelihoods and well-being. Additionally, ecosystems with lower biodiversity may have reduced resilience, making recovery from disturbances more difficult.
What factors have caused an increase in invasive introduced species and losses in global diversity?
Factors contributing to the increase in invasive introduced species and losses in global diversity include habitat destruction, climate change, globalization of trade and transportation, and unintentional introductions from human activities. These factors create opportunities for non-native species to establish and outcompete native species, leading to biodiversity loss and ecosystem disruptions.
What are the problems caused by a limited species diversity?
Limited species diversity can lead to reduced ecosystem resilience, making environments more vulnerable to diseases, pests, and climate change. It can disrupt ecological balance, as specific species play critical roles in nutrient cycling, pollination, and food webs. Additionally, diminished diversity can undermine the availability of resources for humans, such as food, medicine, and clean water, ultimately threatening both ecological and human health.

What human activity is the most dangerous to species?
hunting
Why are Fiji snakes endangered species?
Human activity
What human activity will decrease soil eroisen along a river?
building a dam
Human activity on and around rivers has historically meant a decrease in what?
Trees and forest Aquatic biodiversity
What is blodiversity?
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms in a specific habitat or ecosystem. It includes the diversity of species, genetic diversity within species, and diversity of ecosystems. Biodiversity is important for the functioning and stability of ecosystems, as well as for human well-being.
Does oceans have diversity why or why not?
Yes, It has a wide variety of life. Over 70% of the earth's surface contains water, so there is a heck of a lot of room for life. However, Human activity has threatened this diversity.
What human activity is the most dangerous to the species of plants and animals?
Deforestation, (chopping down trees).
What is human physical diversity?
Human physical diversity is diversity of humans. It can be at a single place or spread across.
A process by which nutrients increase in a lake while oxygen levels decrease as a result of human activity is known as?
Eutrophication
What do scientist mean when they talk about the diversity of life?
When scientists talk about the diversity of life, they are referring to the variety of different species, genetic traits, and ecosystems present on Earth. This diversity is crucial for the health and stability of our planet's ecosystems and plays a key role in supporting human well-being.
Human activity uses as much energy as all of earth's other multicellular species combined?
True
