Question : There is greater biodiversity in the tropical regions of the world. |
|
Answer» Solution :The REASONS for GREATER biodiversity in the tropical regions of the world is because UNLIKE temperate regions which have been subjected to frequent glaciation in the park, tropical latitudes have remained relatively undistributed for millions of years and THUS had long evolutionary time for species diversification. Tropical environments, unlike temperate ones are less SEASONAL, relatively more constant and predictable such constant environment promote niche specialization and lead to a greater species diversity. There is more solar energy available in the tropical region, which induces higher productivity and thus greater diversity. |
