I am new and need help.
Suppose a disease spreads through all the Red Oak Trees in a forest ecosystem.
A. Explain how the change in the ecosystem affects the biodiversity of this forest ecosystem. Provide an example that supports your reasoning.

B. Explain how the change in the biodiversity contributes to the susceptibility of this forest ecosystem. Provide an example that supports your reasoning.

answer:

with a reduction in red oak trees it decreases habitiat for wildlife hence reducing the number of animals in that particular area. this will alter the food chain. e.g. say a type of squirrell lives in the red oak and squirrels eat acorns thay the red oaks provide with the reduction of the red oak, these squirrels won't have a place to habitat so their population will go down. in turn reducing the population of the squirrels as they have lost a food source increasing competiton and a habitat also increasing competiton.

(btw I don't know if red oaks have acorns. just sub in a relevant example)

the reduction of the red oak contributes to the deterioration of biodiversity as it's a loss of a foodsource for multiple organisms and habitat as multiple organisms rely on the red oak.

Explanation:

hope this help!!!

Have a nice day

b. read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure.
