The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Biodiversity
What is an ecosystem? Ecosystems have biotic and abiotic components working together in a system (0:54). The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more resilient it is during environmental changes. (1:27) Both biotic and abiotic factors play a role in maintaining species diversity and the keystone species is the lynch pin. (2:13)
The Question of the Day asks (6:35) Approximately how much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
