• Biodiversity decreases the efficiency of ecosystem services.

• Biodiversity only affects terrestrial ecosystem services.

Define species diversity.

• Species diversity refers to the variety of ecosystems in a given area.

• Species diversity is the total number of individuals in a single species.

• Species diversity is both the number of different species and the number of individuals of each species in a given area.

• Species diversity is the genetic variation within a single species.

How does biodiversity affect ecosystem resilience?

• Higher biodiversity decreases ecosystem resilience, making recovery from disturbances more difficult.
