APFIVE Energy Availability and Ecosystem Disruption
Which of the following best describes how a change in energy availability can disrupt an ecosystem’s trophic structure and affect its biodiversity?
A
Energy availability fluctuations cause uniform changes across all trophic levels, maintaining constant biodiversity ratios
B
Increased energy availability always results in higher biodiversity across all trophic levels due to resource abundance
C
Changes in energy availability only affect primary producers, with minimal impact on higher trophic levels or overall biodiversity
D
Reduced energy availability can cause trophic cascade effects, potentially leading to the collapse of higher trophic levels and decreased biodiversity
