What does ecological diversity include?

• Variation in genetic material within a species

• Number of different species in an ecosystem

• Variation in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems

• Number of individuals within each species

Which of the following is an example of ecological diversity on a global scale?

• Genetic variation within a population

• Variation in hair color in humans

• Number of different species in a forest

• Variation in ecosystems such as deserts, forests, grasslands, wetlands, and oceans

Why is biodiversity important for ecosystem stability?

• It reduces the complexity of food webs

• It decreases the number of trophic levels in a biological community

• It helps ecosystems maintain a steady state even after a disturbance

• It increases the number of species in an ecosystem

How does higher biodiversity help ecosystems recover after a disturbance?

• By reducing the number of species

• By reducing the number of trophic levels

• By increasing the complexity of the ecosystem

• By decreasing genetic variation
