How does the diversity of species increase the probability of adaptation and survival of organisms in changing environments?
Madhur L.
How does BIODIVERSITY result in a more sustainable ecosystem? - A greater variety of species present will allow more organisms to adapt to changes. - Different bodies of water within the ecosystem, like creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes. - A greater variety of abiotic factors to ensure survival of all organisms. - Different temperatures throughout the seasons make the ecosystem tolerable.
