Living Environment State Lab Relationships in Biodiversity

Biodiversity is important to keep an area (biome) healthy. In this example "Food Web A" is sustainable. Why is sustainability important for an ecosystem in "Food Web A".

• If one organism is removed the food web can still operate (work) with little or no negative effect.

• If an organism is removed the food web will collapse and will affect the environment.

Food Web B is an example of...

• Low biodiversity and low sustainability. If the producer dies then all the food web will suffer.
