Q/How is biodiversity an indicator of environment health?

Answer 1

Hi,

If a new plant species is introduced into a habitat, then it would compete with the other plant species growing already in that habitat for nutrients, space and other factors. Newly introduced species could cause decrease in the population of other plants of that habitat.

Biodiversity is a good indicator of environment health. Biodiversity maintains the environment around us and also depend on the environment. Good quality of environment is responsible for larger biodiversity.
