Which of the following statements about biodiversity and ecosystem services are correct?
1. Ecosystem services can be categorized into four main types: provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services.
2. Biodiversity hotspots are regions that are rich in endemic species but have lost at least 65% of their original habitat.
3. The decline of pollinators due to habitat loss and pesticide use has no significant impact on food security, as alternative pollination methods can easily replace them.
4. The resilience of ecosystems to disturbances is directly linked to biodiversity, where high biodiversity enhances ecosystem stability, but the relationship can be nonlinear and influenced by external stressors such as climate change.
