Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.

Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.

In 3-4 sentences, explain how Waste Management is contributing to conservation efforts.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Recycling saves energy, helps keep materials out of landfills and incinerators, and provides raw materials for the production of new products. It converts organic materials, like food waste and yard trimmings, into a valuable soil amendment that contributes to soil health and keeps organic wastes out of landfills.

Explanation:

Recycling saves energy, helps keep materials out of landfills and incinerators, and provides raw materials for the production of new products. When waste cannot be prevented, recycling is the next best option. Recycling is more than extending the life of landfills. It is about making the best use of the resources we have available and conserving those resources for future generations. It is about conserving water, energy, land and raw materials.

Composting is recycling for organics. It converts organic materials, like food waste and yard trimmings, into a valuable soil amendment that contributes to soil health and keeps organic wastes out of landfills.
