Ecosystems with high biodiversity should have high level of habitat diversity. This is because the greater the level of habitat diversity the greater the number of different species which can inhabit this ecosystem.
Characteristics: Greater habitat diversity means that more
species can inhabit the ecosystem Complex ecosystem various niches
