Question

Q1.8. Imagine a species in this forest system is very resistant to disturbance, because it often doesn't burn in a fire. Which is the most likely effect (or lack thereof) on species diversity? Disturbance resistance in an early-successional species will increase diversity at low disturbance levels. Disturbance resistance in an early-successional species will have little effect on diversity. Disturbance resistance in a late-successional species will have little effect on diversity Disturbance resistance in a late-successional species will increase diversity when disturbances are frequent and T 18 large.

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer will be

Disturbance resistance in an early-successional species will have little effect on diversity.
