|
|
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.
|
|
|
Changing conditions that harm one species leave other species to survive and perhaps even thrive.
|
|
|
Landforms change shape less frequently when there is a greater number of species using the land.

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: -Biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of a habitat since a healthy ecology features many trophic levels of producers, consumers, and decomposers. More biodiveristy at any such niche supports each other niche: more diverse plant life leads to more diverse herbivores and in turn more diverse carnivores.
Detailed explanation-3: -If a lake has many different types of fish and other marine life like turtles and frogs and many different types of plants and insects, then there is a great biodiversity of genes and species all contributing to the sustainability of the ecosystem of the lake.
Detailed explanation-4: -Several factors contribute to species diversity, including habitat diversity, competition among species, and genetic diversity. Genetic diversity within a species not only is necessary to maintain diversity among species, 6 but also contributes to the diversity of food, fiber, and medicines available from nature.
