Question
Chapter 56.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason why growing multiple crops on same land is a good strategy for drought conditions.
Introduction:
It has been shown that areas with higher species diversity are more stable than areas where species diversity is low. This has been observed because certain species promote as well as control the growth of other species, maintaining a balance in ecosystem.
