Ecosystem variability

Ecosystem variability refers to the natural differences and changes that occur within ecosystems over time and space. These differences can involve the types and numbers of plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as environmental factors like temperature, water availability, and nutrient levels. Variability is important because it helps ecosystems adapt to changes, recover from disturbances, and maintain their health and functions. Essentially, it reflects the dynamic nature of ecosystems, allowing them to be resilient, diverse, and capable of supporting a wide range of life forms.
