Ecosystem Resistance

Biodiversity: Biodiversity refers to the variety and abundance of different species within an ecosystem. Higher biodiversity often correlates with greater ecosystem resilience and resistance.

Keystone species: Keystone species are organisms that have a disproportionately large impact on their environment relative to their abundance. Their presence is crucial for maintaining the balance and functioning of an entire ecosystem.

Ecological succession: Ecological succession is the process by which an ecological community gradually changes over time after a disturbance, eventually leading to the development of a stable and mature ecosystem.
