Five Hypotheses Explain How Species Richness Affects Community Services, Following statement are given
A) Community services decline with decreased species richness in a stepwise fashion.
B) Species that play the same roles in a community can compensate for each other if some are lost under particular conditions
C) Species richness declines even slightly from its natural levels, community services are reduced immediately
