Diversity is necessary in an ecosystem to help drive the gene pool and further evolution of species. If there is no diversity in the ecosystem species would be susceptible to biological hazards. Looking on a large scale, plants would have diversity to prevent them from being wiped out by a parasitic attack. Diversity ensures the reproduction of species and also cultivates competition. This competition can also be beneficial to species so reproduction can ensure that there is survival of the fittest.
