Why would a more diverse habitat be more resilient disease, flooding, and invasion?

Answer:

More diverse habitat follows beta diversity which ensures prevention from wider range of environmental fluctuations. There should be a stabilization in the entire community in terms of invasions, disease events. Species with a limited variety of phenotypes living in a diverse habitat will undergo adaptations in order to cope up with environmental variability.
