Compared to forests,which set of characteristics do grasslands have? 

A)  more diversity and more resilience 
B)  more diversity and more inertia 
C)  less diversity and more inertia 
D)  less diversity and more resilience

Grasslands typically have less diversity but more resilience compared to forests. This is because grasses have adapted to survive in environments with fewer resources and frequent disturbances, such as wildfires and grazing by herbivores. As a result, grasslands are better able to recover from these types of disturbances compared to forests which may have more complex ecosystem processes and dependencies.
