How does high biodiversity help in maintaining the stability of an ecosystem and elements of life are are conserved as they are moved throughout the ecosystem?
As energy moves through an ecosystem, it changes form, but no new energy is created. Similarly, as matter cycles within an ecosystem, atoms are rearranged into various molecules, but no new matter is created. So, during all ecosystem processes, energy and matter are conserved. Biodiversity is of critical importance to the stability of natural ecosystems and their abilities to provide positive benefits such as oxygen production, soil genesis, and water detoxification to plant and animal communities.
Ecossistemas com grande biodiversidade aumenta a possibilidade de interações ecológicas e um fluxo de energia com maior amplitude.
