Question

When might an increase in biodiversity lead to a decrease in the stability of an ecosystem?

Answer 1

same explanation as above to credit to that owner but I tweaked it to sound less choppy***

If biodiversity kept on increasing, the populations would surpass the carrying capacity of the ecosystem. It will crash due to a lack of stability within the system. Increased biodiversity leads to fewer available resources, increased competition, decreased survival rate, and scarcity in food. Therefore, too much biodiversity in an ecosystem will cause the food web to fall out of place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

yes, if the biodiversity keep on increasing, and surpasses the carrying capacity, the stabilty of the ecosystem will be lost. This will be due to deplenishing resources, increasing competition, difficulty in survival and less availability of food. Therefore, a balance should always be maintained in the biodiversity as well optimal climate for stabilizing an ecosystem.
