Answer:
Scientific explanation for the direct
relationship between diversity and stability of an ecosystem could be as
follows
Imagine a forest area, where diverse
species of plants are growing. Plants harbour a variety of insects on which a
lot of bird species would depend for their food.
If a specific plant species
dies, the related insect population will be affected that would leadto food
unavailability for the birds.
In addition, if the plant
species was a nitrogen fixer, the death of these plants would mean no
replenishment of soil with nitrogen. This will obviously affect the other
plants as well. So, if the cycle continues, the whole habitat/ecosystem will be
negatively affected.
