The higher biodiversity in an ecosystem means that there is a greater variety of genes and species in that ecosystem. A great variety of genes and species means that the ecosystem is better able to carry out natural processes in the face of external stress. Thus, the ecosystem is more sustainable.
<span>Eutrophication or more precisely hypertrophication, is the enrichment of a water body with nutrients, usually with an excess amount of nutrients. This process induces growth of plants and algae and due to the biomass .... Although eutrophication is commonly caused by human activities, it can also be a natural process, ...</span><span>

<u>The four types of interactions in communities are:</u>
- Mutualism
- Parasitism
- Commensalism
- Competition
<u>Definition of each interaction:</u>
<em>Mutualism: </em>
The type of interaction in which both the species involved are benefited, it is called mutualism.
<em>Parasitism:</em>
The type of interaction in which one species is benefited, whereas the other is harmed, it is called parasitism.
<em>Commensalism:</em>
The type of interaction in which one species gets benefited without harming or providing benefits to others is called commensalism.
<em>Competition:</em>
The type of interaction in which both species lose is called competition. It is opposite of mutualism.
<u>Symbiotic relationship:</u>
It refers to the type of interaction in which lastly one species gets benefited. The type of interactions such as <em>mutualism, commensalism, and Parasitism </em>are considered as symbiotic relationship.
