Question

An ecosystem which can be easily damaged but can recover after some time if damaging effect stops, will be having.
A. Low stability and high resilience
B. High stability and low resilience
C. Low stability and low resilience
D. High stability and high resilience

Answer 1

Hint: Ecosystem can be affected by mainly three factors: biotic, abiotic and human activities. Biotic factors such as grazing and predation while pH and temperature are abiotic factors. Less stable ecosystem gets easily affected by these factors. Resilience refers to the repair of that particular ecosystem.

Complete answer:
An ecosystem includes biotic and abiotic factors. These both factors influence the ecosystem. Animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and protists are some examples of biotic factors. Water, soil, air, sunlight, temperature, and minerals are some abiotic factors. Ecosystems can be affected by various factors. It includes natural phenomena such as wind, rain, predation and earthquake and human activities like reducing habitats, over-hunting, broadcasting pesticides or fertilizers, etc. Different biomes are found on earth distinguished by their similar climate, fauna and flora.
These factors affect the ecosystem, if it gets easily affected it has low stability but ecosystem can repair them with the time which is referred to its resilience. Low stability means damage easily and high resilience means that it can repair fast.
From the above information we have found that an ecosystem which can be easily damaged but can recover after some time if damaging effect stops, will be having has low stability and high resilience

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: Every organism plays an important role within the community called as niche. The proper use of resources in the ecosystem, interaction of different organisms such as competition, parasitism, predation, light, temperature, and nutrient availability is included in the niche. In the ecosystem, a variety of different organisms is found which can lead to biodiversity.
