What is a main entry point for nutrients in the littoral zone in lakes How does this affect the biomass of this zone How does it affect the species diversity?
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.
Which biome would have the biggest biomass?
Tropical rainforests typically have the biggest biomass due to the high levels of vegetation and diversity of plant and animal species that contribute to the overall biomass.
Which marine ecosystem has the most biomass?
Coral reefs have been estimated to have the most biomass among marine ecosystems, due to the diversity of species inhabiting them and their high productivity.
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.
The sum total of the variety of organisms in the biosphere is called?
Biodiversity. It refers to the variety of species, genetic diversity within species, and ecosystem diversity in a given area. High biodiversity is essential for the health and stability of ecosystems.
Is a measure of the number variety and variability of living organisms in an ecosyste?
Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of living organisms within an ecosystem. It can include genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. High biodiversity is important for ecosystem resilience and stability.
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 to 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.
Explain how the biomass of a species is limited by their tropic level?
The biomass of a species decreases with increasing trophic level due to energy loss along the food chain. Each trophic level consumes energy and nutrients from the level below, resulting in a smaller overall biomass at higher trophic levels. This is known as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
