There is greater biodiversity in tropical/subtropical regions than in temperate region. Explain. |
| Answer» The tropical/subtropical region exhibit maximum biological diversity because these region remain undisturbed due to less variable climatic conditions. So, tropics has a longer evolutionary time for species diversification. The temperate enviroment are more seasonal, less constant and unpredictable, therefore less niche specialisation and lesser species diversity are observed. | |
