Which of the following statements is correct?
Select one:
a. plant species diversity decreases with increasing soil fertility
b. bird species diversity increases with increasing foliage height diversity
c. species diversity is higher in more structurally complex environments
d. all of the above
Which of the following statements is correct?
The answer to the question is option B which is All of the above
A. Plant species diversity decreases with increasing soil fertility.
this is because with increasing soil fertility the nutrients like potassium, calcium, nitrogen may increase which is not suitable to the native plants so, the plant species decreases
B. Birds species diversity increases with increasing foliage high diversity.
This is because with the increase in height of the foliage the animals are not able to reach them and eat them. And even birds get more place to make nest and increase their species.
C. Species diversity is higher in most structurally complex environments.
Yes species diversity increases in and are more stable in structurally complex environments because they have so many opportunities to depend on for food and life resources. Even on elimination of or extinction of one dependent species the others disease is not affected that much that it lead to its extinction also. The dependent species may find its alternative.
SO, ON THE GIVEN STATEMENTS ARE CORRECT.
THERE FORE, OPTION D ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CORRECT.
