***Biodiversity Biodiversity --> Ecosystem Collapse
Biodiversity is bad - it makes ecosystems less stable and more prone to
collapse - simple systems are more stable
Heath, 99 (Jim Heath - Australian Orchid Council Inc., 1999, Orchids
Australia, "WHY SAVE ORCHIDS UNDER THREAT?,"
http://www.orchidsaustralia.com/whysave.htm, CM)
Some people say we can't afford to lose any species, no matter what species
they are. Everything needs everything else, they say, to make nature
balance. If that were right, it might explain why the six orchid species
should be saved. Alas, no. We could pour weedkiller on all the orchids in
Australia and do no ecological damage to the rest of the continent's
biology. But wouldn't the natural ecological systems then become less
stable, if we start plucking out species - even those orchids? Not
necessarily. Natural biological systems are hardly ever stable and balanced
anyway. Everything goes along steadily for a time, then boom - the system
falls apart and simplifies for no visible reason. Diverse systems are
usually more unstable than the less diverse ones. Biologists agree that in
some places less diversity is more stable (in the Arctic, for example).
Also, monocultures - farms - can be very stable. Not to mention the
timeless grass of a salt marsh. In other words, there's no biological law
that says we have to save the orchids because they add diversity, and that
added diversity makes the biological world more stable. Biodiversity makes ecosystems less stable and more susceptible to collapse
- increased biodiversity prevents resiliency and collapses the system

Research and Conservation (CERC), Professor and Chair of Columbia

instability?," pg. 23, CM)
Pfisterer and Schmid [3] studied biomass production in a combinatorial
plant-diversity experiment, which consisted of an array of replicate
grassland plots that varied both in their number of plant species (from 1
to 32) and in their combination of species. The authors used their results
to test the venerable 'insurance' hypothesis of ecosystem stability. This
hypothesis is one of several that have featured in the long-standing
ecological debate over the relationship between complexity (diversity) and
stability [4]. Over the course of this debate, the prevailing view has see-
sawed between the thesis that diversity begets stability, and the
antithesis that diversity either leads to instability or is irrelevant.
Chief among the 'begets-stability' theories is the insurance hypothesis --
the impeccably logical notion that having a variety of species insures an
ecosystem against a range of environmental upsets. For example, suppose an
ecosystem faces a drought, then a flood, which in turn is followed by a
fire. According to the insurance hypothesis, if that ecosystem is diverse --
if it has some species that can tolerate dro
