Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biodiversity increases and decreases ecosystem stability.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity is the number of species found within a habitat or an ecosystem. When an ecosystem has high biodiversity it is always more stable than an ecosystem that has low biodiversity. A monoculture is when an ecosystem has only one prominent species and has very low biodiversity.
