Why does an increased amount of biodiversity/complexity in an ecosystem allow it to respond better after a disturbance?

Biology
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Higher biodiversity seems to be associated with a better response to disturbance events

Explanation:

Biodiversity means 'the variety of life'. Disturbance processes modify the environment and also affect demographic processes such as growth, recruitment, survivorship, etc., thereby producing changes in biodiversity. In an ecosystem, biodiversity contributes to its sustainability. In this regard, it has been shown that disturbance events are less important in species-rich ecosystems such as tropical wet forests compared to less rich ones (such as dry forests). The communities with higher biodiversity levels are known to be more productive in terms of biomass, and thus they seem to be more stable (and successful) to disturbance events.

How are tropical rainforests and temperate forests different apex?
Sholpan [36]
I believe the difference is that Tropical rainforests are warm and moist while the temperate rainforests are cool. Temperate rainforests have four seasons; spring, summer, fall and winter, while tropical forests experience warm weather all year round and do not have the same set of seasons. Additionally; tropical rainforests experience much higher rainfall than temperate rainforests.

How many chromosomes are found in the organism that results from the union of a human sperm cell and an egg cell?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
A human has a total of 46 chromosomes (23 from daddy and 23 from mommy). :)
A sperm cell has 23 chromosomes and an egg cell that has 23 chromosomes. 23 + 23 equals 46. Sometimes (due to mutations), a person
may have less chromosomes than they need. This may cause some problems like Turner syndrome(treatment can help aid the situation but, it can't be cured).
Hope this helps you :)
