According to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis Choose

According to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis: Choose all the correct answers to the question. high disturbance levels reduce species diversity due to high mortality. high disturbance levels reduce species diversity because they promote competitive exclusion. low or absent disturbance levels reduce species diversity because they competitive exclusion None of the above

Solution

Answer

High disturbance levels reduce species diversity due to high mortality

Low or absent disturbance levels reduce species diversity because they promote competetive ecclusion.

The hypothesis Intermediate disturbance Hypothesis was give by Connel, 1978

Acording to it

1. At low rates of disturbance, competitively dominant species would outcompete all other species, and only a few species would persist, yielding low species richness.
2. At high levels of disturbance, species would be continually driven extinct and only good colonists would persist.
3. High species diversity or richness is maintained in areas where disturbances are neither too large
nor too small but are of intermediate size.
