How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of a habitat

The higher the biodiversity of an Habitat, the more

sustainable it is. Also, lower biodiversity equals less sustainability.

Explanation:

The term “biodiversity” is a coined from the phrase “biological diversity”. Biodiversity can be defined as the richness and variety of life of genes, species and ecosystem.

Biodiversity tells us a lot about the health of the biosphere. The greater the variety of species, the healthier the biosphere is. Why is this? This is because;  the greater the species, the more links in food chains/webs.  Also, the more the genes, the better chances for survival through adaptation.

On the other hand, Sustainability of an ecosystem is the ability of that ecosystem to maintain its structure and function over time in the face of inescapable external stress(e.g deforestation, tornadoes, floods, pollution, etc).  

For an ecosystem, sustainability means maintaining ecological processes over long periods of time. These ecological processes includes evolution, food chains and webs, population dynamics, succession. e.t.c

So, if an ecosystem is able to maintain its structure and function over time in the face of external stress, it is said to be sustainable.

FURTHERMORE, The higher biodiversity in an ecosystem means that there is a greater variety of genes and  species in that ecosystem. A great variety of genes and species means that the ecosystem is better able to carry out

natural processes. The ecosystem will therefore have more genes and species to help it carry out these processes. For  example, there will be more species and more links in food webs, more plants to help  with the biogeochemical cycles and more genes available for succession and evolution.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
