What is referred to as the different types of species found within an ecosystem?

• Genetic Diversity

• Species Diversity

• Density

• Carrying Capacity

Describes the amount of species in a given area.

• Genetic Diversity

• Species Diversity

• Density

• Carrying Capacity

The total amount of species an ecosystem can hold without experiencing problems.

• Genetic Diversity

• Species Diversity

• Density

• Carrying Capacity

Will occur in an ecosystem regardless of the density of species.

• Density-Independent Factors

• Density-Dependent Factors

• Problems

• Equilibrium

Will change with a changing amount of species in an ecosystem.

• Density-Independent Factors

• Density-Dependent Factors

• Problems

• Equilibrium

Occurs if an ecosystem goes over carrying capacity.

• Density-Independent Factors

• Density-Dependent Factors

• Problems

• Equilibrium

When an ecosystem is in a healthy and stable state.

• Density-Independent Factors

• Density-Dependent Factors

• Problems

• Equilibrium

Can cause a loss of biodiversity from native plants not being suited to live there anymore.
