Vedclass · Answer

(D) Loss of biodiversity has significant negative impacts on ecosystem stability.$I$. Lowered resistance to environmental perturbations is a direct consequence of reduced species richness.$II$. $A$ decrease in plant production is observed as biodiversity loss disrupts ecosystem functions.$III$. Increased variability in ecosystem processes (such as water use,pest/disease cycles,and plant productivity) occurs because the ecosystem becomes less stable and resilient.$IV$. An increase in plant production is incorrect,as biodiversity loss generally leads to a decline in ecosystem productivity.Therefore,statements $I$,$II$,and $III$ are correct consequences of biodiversity loss.
