What is Ecosystem diversity?

Answers (1)

best_answer

Diversity in ecosystems means the number of different types of ecosystems in a certain place or on Earth as a whole. Living things (plants, animals, microorganisms) and nonliving things (soil, water, air, climate) in an ecosystem connect with each other. Ecosystem diversity helps keep nature in order and keeps life going on Earth.

Every ecosystem is different because the species that live there, their genetic makeup, and the way the ecosystem works are all different. As an example, a jungle has a lot of different kinds of trees, animals, and insects. On the other hand, a desert has plants and animals that are used to living in dry places. The seas, grasslands, wetlands, and mountains are all unique because they have different kinds of life that make them special.

The right statement is that "Variation in species diversity in an ecosystem" is a key part of ecosystem diversity because ecosystem diversity includes differences in the species that live there and where they live. When there are more species in an ecosystem, it is more stable and can handle changes in its surroundings better. For biodiversity and our own survival, it's important to protect different areas.
