Importance of Species Diversity to the Ecosystem
BIOXII15: BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION

344879 Tilman found that plots with more species showed

1 Less year-to-year variation in total biomass
2 Higher productivity
3 Both 1 and 2
4 Nothing like that happens
BIOXII15: BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION

344880 Statement A :
For many decades, ecologists believed that communities with more species, generally, tend to be less stable than those with less species.
Statement B :
A stable community should not show too much variation in productivity from year to year.

1 Statement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect.
2 Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct.
3 Both statements are correct.
4 Both Statements are incorrect.

344881 Find out the correct statements w.r.t David Tilman's longterm ecosystem experiments
I. Plots with more species showed more year to year variation in total biomass
II. Increased biodiversity contribution to higher productivity
III. Plots with less species show less year to year variation in total biomass
IV. Less the species richness in a community, more is the productivity

1 III, IV
2 II, III
3 only II
4 None
BIOXII15: BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION

344882 Consider the following statements w.r.t biodiversity
I. Within a region species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only upto a limit
II. Relatively more constant environment of the tropics promote niche specialization and leads to lesser species diversity
III. Keystone species drive major ecosystem functions
IV. A stable community must be resistant to invasions by alien species

1 I, III and IV
2 I, II and III
3 II, III and IV
4 All are correct
