Why do moderate levels of disturbance result in an increase in community diversity?a) The resulting uniform habitat supports stability, which in turn supports diversity.b) Less-competitive species evolve strategies to compete with dominant species.c) Habitats are opened up for less competitive speciesd) Competively dominant species infrequently exclude less competitive species after a moderate disturbance.

Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.
