Hello everyone. And in today's video we have a very short problem. So let's jump straight into it. We have the identify the correct statement regarding a community species diversity according to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. So in case you don't remember what the intermediate disturbance hypothesis is, I'm going to just help you recall it. And the definition for it is that biodiversity of species diversity is going to be maximized when disturbances in the ecosystem or corer. However, they cannot be too frequently or too rarely. So in other words, they have to be moderate. They cannot be other services, However, they cannot be. The services occurring too frequently, disturbances in the middle of it. Or moderate disturbances are going to be the best for maximizing species diversity. Which looking at our answer choices is going to be answer choice C the fact that moderate disturbances equate maximum diversity. And so that's going to be the other video. I really hope this video helped you. And I hope to see you on the next one.
