In highly productive ecosystems, like jungles, animals would favor dominant, fast-growing plants. This would free up nutrients and space, allowing for a greater variety of plants to boo

12、m. In contrast, herbivores in regions with low plant biomass, like deserts, would eat whatever they could find, only driving down plant diversity.Now, a team of scientists has tested this hypothesis(假说). Burkepile, a biology professor in UC Santa Barbara, and his colleagues reviewed 252 studies comp

13、aring plant diversity in areas where herbivores were and were not excluded.Their study revealed that whether herbivores increase or decrease plant diversity depends on whats on the menu. In general, the correlation (相关性) between herbivory and diversity wasnt nearly as clear as everyone had expected.

14、 However, the team noticed a much stronger association: when the ecosystem hosted a particularly vigorous species of plant, herbivory seemed to be crucial in maintaining biodiversity.For instance, grasslands in the tallgrass prairie in the American Midwest tend to be dominated (控制) by fast-growing g

15、rasses, such as big bluestem. The team discovered that herbivores had an outsized effect on maintaining biodiversity by keeping big bluestem from taking over dozens of smaller, slower growing plant species. However not all herbivores are on an equal foot. The team found that the connection between h

16、erbivory and diversity was particularly strong in grasslands where more animals feed on grass than on herbs and bushes. This seems reasonable, since grasses tend to be the dominant species in grasslands, as the name suggests.These findings are more than academic. “Weve seen three decades of really i

17、mportant papers saying that ecosystems work better when you have more species in them,” Burkepile said. “What our data suggests is that herbivores are especially important for maintaining this biodiversity in places where you have a really dominant plant species.” As biodiversity continues to declin

18、e worldwide, conservationists are looking for ways to prevent catastrophic losses. “This suggests that one possible approach to managing ecosystems and biodiversity is to use herbivores to manage these dominant species,” Burkepile added.1、According to Paragraph 1, how do herbivores help to increase

19、biodiversity?ABy consuming dominant, fast-growing plants.BBy destroying jungles and freeing up space.CBy adding more nutrients to the soil.DBy eating up low plant biomass.2、The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably implies that _.Aherbivory has nothing to do with biodiversity in a given ecosy
