The plants in a farm field have low biodiversity. Which outcome is most likely? (1 point)

Question

A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.

Only a few animals visit the field to eat the plants.

The plants produce a variety of food crops, some more valuable than others.

The crop withstands extremes in weather, such as heavy rains or drought.

Answer 1

The most likely outcome in a farm field with low biodiversity is:

A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.

Low biodiversity means that there are fewer varieties of plants present, which can make the entire crop more susceptible to diseases and pests, as they are all vulnerable to the same threats.
