Biodiversity and a stable ecosystem are related how?

• A more biodiverse ecosystem is more stable because it adapts to change.

• A more biodiverse ecosystem is less stable since its susceptible to natural disasters.

• Biodiversity does not affect ecosystem stability.

• Biodiversity means you were types of species to balance.
