Biodiversity

In the biodiversity activity, my hypothesis was if the number of species in my ecosystem is high then it will be able to recover. The ecosystem given to me had a very low number of different species which was 3, and all together the organisms equaled 16. Therefore our ecosystems biodiversity ratio was also low .19. The ecosystem only survived 3 out of 10 disasters. When I compared my data to the class I noticed that the lower ratio had less disasters survived, but if the ratio was high it had more disasters survived. Based on this information, my hypothesis proved to be correct. The results didn't surprise me and I think one species could be more important than other. One species could have the potential to survive more disasters than another.
