Why Is Biodiversity Important?

• May help increase ecosystem productivity– The more species you have the more

completely you can use the land’s resources– Certain species may help or allow other

species to grow

Why Is Biodiversity Important?

• May help ecosystem stability– More resistant to invasion– More resistant to disease– More resilient toward disturbances
