An ecosystem that is not sustainable can break down when a natural disaster occurs. This can lead to organisms in the ecosystem
either leaving the area or dying off. Increased biodiversity results in a more sustainable ecosystem because —
A) a greater number of plant species means that there is less barren land
B) a greater variety of species present allows more organisms to adapt after changes occur
C) the transition area between two ecosystems is narrower
D) there are fewer species to be affected by environmental stresses
Biodiversity is the variability among different species from all the sources, including marine, aquatic species, terrestrial and other ecological complexes.
High biodiversity in an ecosystem means that there is a great variety of species and genes in the ecosystem.
All these species depend on each other for food, shelter or any other need in order to survive so a greater variety of species in an ecosystem help each other to adapt changes after disasters occur.
