What’s relationship between biodiversity & ecological stability & difference between ecosystem & biodiversity & its importance?
Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. As species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change. Ecosystem a natural environment which includes the flora and fauna that live and interact within that environment. Biodiversity: the variety of natural life and habitats on Earth. Biodiversity is the natural world around us, and the variety of all of the different kinds of organisms - the plants, animals, insects and microorganisms that live on our planet. Every one of these lives and work together in ecosystems to maintain and support life on earth, and exist in delicate balance.

Yet does biodiversity not also enrich the biotic community as well as provide stability? Are energy (C) and nutrients better conserved within ecosystems with higher biodiversity than those with lower biodiversity in the same environment?
Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth, including humans. Without a wide range of animals, plants and microorganisms, we cannot have the healthy ecosystems that we rely on to provide us with the air we breathe and the food we eat. And people also value nature of it. Ecosystem a natural environment which includes the flora and fauna that live and interact within that environment and biodiversity the variety of natural life and habitats on Earth. Increasing species diversity can influence ecosystem functions such as productivity by increasing the likelihood that species will use complementary resources and can also increase the likelihood that a particularly productive or efficient species is present in the community. Biodiversity is the presence of different species of plants and animals on the earth. Moreover, it is also called biological diversity as it is related to the variety of species of flora and fauna. Biodiversity plays a major role in maintaining the balance of the earth. The Biodiversity Guidance recommends that when interacting with biodiversity, organizations should consider six key characteristics: spatial dimension, time dimension, multi-faceted nature, interconnected nature, engagement and collaboration, and methodologies. Biodiversity correlates directly to productivity of an ecosystem and greater the biodiversity, the greater the productivity and stability of the ecosystem. The populations of all the different species that live together in an area make up an ecological community. Community ecologists examine how different species in a community interact with each other. Interactions between two or more species are called interspecific interactions.
