Which of these is most likely to result if biodiversity is lost in an ecosystem

increased ecosystem stability

decreased ecosystem resilience

increased artificial selection

decreased species richness

If biodiversity is lost in an ecosystem, it will lead to decrease in ecosystem resilience. Biodiversity loss is a major concern now. With the extinction of many species, ecosystem might collapse. Removing a single species can result in a partial collapse of the ecosystem. For example: honey bee colony collapse situation. Without honey bees, humans would struggle or fail to grow certain important crops. With more loss of biodiversity it may become hard for our very survival also.
