While their unique evolutionary paths have led to different adaptations, non-vascular and vascular plants are commonly found occupying similar habitats and together play an important role in establishing community structure and biodiversity. Compare and contrast how they interact together in this particular ecosystem, and the role their unique adaptations have played in forming the above relationships (Compare and contrast at least 2 relationships). What happens to these interactionsifwe lose just one species

Non-vascular plants provide nutrients, avoid erosion and habitat to animals.

Explanation:

Non-vascular plants has played an important role in the ecosystem and biodiversity because it releases various nutrients in the soil which can be used by the vascular plants from the soil and also reduce erosion of the soil. These non-vascular plants provides habitat and food to various animals in the ecosystem. If the non-vascular plants can be removed from the ecosystem, the whole ecosystem will be disturbed and adverse effect on vascular plants and animals occur.
