Which of the following contributes to the diversity of an ecosystem?

Increased keystone species
Reduced species richness
Increased invasive species
Increased foundation species

Biodiversity refers to the variation in the species of organisms present in a particular ecosystem. It refers to the number of the different kinds of living organisms existing in that ecosystem. One way to contribute to how diverse an ecosystem is i.e. how rich in biological species are in that ecosystem, is an INCREASED THE FOUNDATION SPECIES.

Foundation species are species of organisms that are involved in the building of a community's structure. The role of foundation species encourage the inhabitance of other living species, hence, contributing to diversity.
