Answer to Question 1

The diversity of the ecosystem helps each one. Monoculture fields are brittle,
fragile. The more species share a system, the more stable the system is. Decreases in
diversity are correlated with decreases in productivity. Loss of diversity in plants can lead
the plants to be unable to respond to changes in the environment.
One reason for seed banks is the preservation of genetic diversity. That genetic diversity
could possibly be important to adaptation of the plant to a future, different environmentas
in a future warmer world.
