Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Large ecosystems always have higher biodiversity than smaller ecosystems. A large area of a forest will likely have higher biodiversity than a smaller area of the same forest. A half acre of rainforest would likely have greater biodiversity than a full acre of desert. Small ecosystems always have low biodiversity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sustainability of managed systems can be increased by maintaining interactive controls so that they form negative feedbacks within ecosystems and by using laws and regulations to create negative feedbacks between ecosystems and human activities, such as between ocean ecosystems and marine fisheries.
