Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bioremediation: a green approach for restoration of polluted ecosystems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keystone species have low functional redundancy. This means that if the species were to disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological niche. The ecosystem would be forced to radically change, allowing new and possibly invasive species to populate the habitat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Predators can increase diversity in communities by preying on competitive dominant species or by reducing consumer pressure on foundation species.
