If a nonnative species is introduced into an ecosystem . how might the biodiversity or health of the ecosystem change? why

1 answer:

8 0

It would be negatively impacted because a foreign species would start to take over a native species’ role in the ecosystem and may also directly (if it’s a predator) or indirectly lead to the decline of other species. So as some species may start to decline and eventually become extinct in that particular ecosystem, the biodiversity level would lessen cuz there’s less types of plants and animals. Less plants and animals could lead to the ecosystem to eventually collapse and it would be literally a mass extinction.

How would a tsunami most likely affect the abundance of aquatic organisms in the intertidal zone of the ocean?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C). A tsunami would decrease abundance by causing physical damage to the organisms and their ecosystems.

An intertidal zone is also known as littoral zone. It is the region which is covers the foreshore and seabed. This region is exposed to the affects of tides. This region is highly vulnerable to tsunamis. The tsunami will disturb the habitat of organisms living in intertidal zone. Therefore, will result in decrease in abundance of aquatic organisms.

How is loss of biodiversity connected to extinction of organisms?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

In an ecosystem, everything is connected. All ecosystems have some form of food chain and symbiosis. This means that animals rely on each other for life. If one animal were to die then others would be negatively affected. Overall, this means that when biodiversity is lost it becomes harder for organisms to survive. For example, pandas rely on bamboo to survive. So, when it gets cut down and destroyed the pandas also suffer. Additionally, in ecosystems, a wide variety of organisms helps other living creates have more forms of survival. This shows how important biodiversity is.
