Ecosystem with large
amount of biodiversity:
- In ecosystems with more biodiversity, the food
webs and ecological interactions among living organisms are
more complex and diverse.
- In these ecosystems,environmental changes can be more
easily compensated for the large amount of available
resources,food and survival options.
Ecosystem with lesser
biodiversity:
- Whereas in the ecosystems with less
biodiversity,individuals are more dependent on certain
organisms that serve as food and interact with a small number of
different species.
- In these types of ecosystems,abiotic factors are
generally restrictive and species are more specialized for
such conditions and as result,more sensitive to environmental
changes.
- Therefore, even small-scale environmental damage can cause big
disturbances in the equilibrium of the ecosystem.
