Detailed explanation-1: -A greater variety of life forms or biodiversity maintains the natural sustainability of all the living organisms present in the ecosystem. A large number of species ensures that the natural processes are carried out properly and the impact of any external stress is less.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following contributes most to sustainability? Inclusion of environmental and health costs in market prices.
Detailed explanation-3: -Optimum level of harvesting, adoptability to changing conditions (such as global carbondioxide buildup), self regulation capability are some factors that can be listed to increase sustainability of an ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why does biodiversity contribute to a habitat’s sustainability? The more plants and animals in a habitat, the greater the biomass, which is how habitats store energy. The greater the number of species, the more competition there is for food between predators, which sustains their populations.
