To determine which statement is true regarding the stability of the ecosystems based on biodiversity, consider the general principle that ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable. Higher biodiversity often means more varied species can contribute to ecosystem functions, resilience to disturbances, and overall stability.
Assuming "ecosystem 1" has more biodiversity and "ecosystem 2" has less biodiversity (as implied by options A and B), the correct statement would be:
A. Ecosystem 2 is more stable than ecosystem 1 because it has more biodiversity.
However, if it turns out that ecosystem 1 has more biodiversity, the more correct statement would be:
C. Ecosystem 1 is more stable than ecosystem 2 because it has more biodiversity.
Without specific details on the biodiversity levels of each ecosystem from the diagram you mentioned, double-check the biodiversity levels to select between options A, B, C, or D accurately. Following the general understanding of biodiversity stability, it’s likely that if ecosystem 1 has more biodiversity, option C is true.
