Ecosystems have trouble adjusting to short-term changes - This is false.
Eco system changes can be long term and short term. Few short-term environmental changes that can change an eco system are - drought, smog, volcanic eruptions, floods etc. An ecosystem can easily adapt to short-term changes. For example, after a forest fire plants can re-grow from their roots. Many species have features to help them cope with natural, short-term environmental changes.

- Pea color (green or yellow)
- Pod shape (yellow or green)
- Flower color (purple or white)
- Pea shape (round or wrinkled)
Other benefits were like: short life cycle, it produces a good number of offspring in a cross, easy to breed or cross-pollinate, hybrids were liable, bisexual flowers which makes it easy to produce true-breeding etc.
The primary consumer in a food chain that would receive 10% of the Sun's energy is the A. mouse.
The Elm tree would receive all 100% of the Sun's energy.
The mouse follows because it eats greens, then the snake eats mice.
The hawk as top in the food chain in terms of the energy from the Sun itself.
