Being "more resilient" means it can better handle stress or damage.

They receive more sunlight, helping plants grow better.

More species can fill similar roles or jobs, so the ecosystem stays balanced.

The living things there are healthier and stronger than in other ecosystems.

Additionally, high biodiversity ecosystems also have greater genetic diversity within species, making them better equipped to adapt to changes in their environment. This diversity also means that if one species is negatively impacted by a disturbance, other species can step in and fulfill similar roles, helping to maintain the overall functioning of the ecosystem. Overall, high biodiversity increases the stability and resilience of an ecosystem by providing a greater variety of species with different abilities and adaptive strategies to respond to changes or disturbances.
