In an ecosystem with low biodiversity, the removal of a species will

Answer 1

have a greater impact on the overall function of the ecosystem. This is because with low biodiversity, there are fewer species to perform important ecological roles such as pollination or nutrient cycling. Thus, the loss of even one species can disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem, potentially leading to cascading effects on other species and even the physical environment. In contrast, in a highly diverse ecosystem, the loss of one species may have a smaller impact as other species can potentially fill the ecological niche left behind by the extinct species.
