In steep slopes, the rate of soil formation decreases. In these areas, water will run off rapidly and may erode the surfaces of the soil. This will result to poor soil on these areas while at the lower part of the slope deposits are found. Also, sunlight is much more direct at those area which can cause the soil to dry.

Which situation results from increased biodiversity in an ecosystem
Nastasia [14]

The correct answer is - increased competition.

If an ecosystem experiences an increase in its biodiversity, than the result of it would be increased competition. The increased competition will be for food sources, water sources, territory. The reason why increased competition will occur is that there are only limited mounts of food sources, water sources, and territory in the ecosystem. There's also certain amount of niches in the ecosystem, and once all of them are occupied by some species, any other that is specialized for that niche will be competitor plus. This increased competition will lead to high evolutionary pressure, which will result in relatively quick adaptations and specialization in order to survive.
