In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal of a species will
a
not affect the ecosystem because another species will take its place.
b
disturb the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
c
not affect the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
d
disturb the ecosystem because another species will take its place.
c) not affect the ecosystem because another species will not be able to replace it.
In ecosystems with low biodiversity, there are typically fewer species and each species plays a more critical role in the overall functioning of the ecosystem. If a species is removed, there may not be another species with the same or similar ecological function to replace it. This can have significant impacts on ecosystem processes and can lead to disturbances such as changes in population sizes, altered nutrient cycling, and shifts in community structure.
