Question

What is the most important factor in an ecosystem resilience?

Answer 1

Ecosystem: It is the interaction of biotic and abiotic components in a habitat.

Ecosystem resilience:

1. Ecosystem resilience is the ability of an ecosystem to resist and recover from any kind of disturbance like large-scale natural disasters, reduction in species diversity, etc.
2. Complex ecosystems are more resilient i.e., have a better ability to tolerate and recover.
3. The main and most important factors in ecosystem resilience are namely: redundancy and modularity.
4. Ecological redundancy is the functional compensation due to several species which perform similar functions in an ecosystem.
5. Modularity is defined as the interconnectedness of the components of a system. For example :In nature, modularity may refer to the construction of a cellular organism by joining standard units to form large compositions like the hexagonal cells in a honeycomb.
