Question

Mention two factors responsible for reduction in biodiversity at high altitudes.

Answer 1

Altitude affects the diversity richness inversely. High altitudes are less diverse than lower altitudes. This happens because as we move up, the atmosphere becomes less dense and due to lack of oxygen only a few species are able to sustain life at higher altitudes.

Answer 2

The major cause of reduction in biodiversity is attributed to an influence of people on the ecosystem of the world.

In reality, people are altered deeply the overall environment and also changed the territory and exploiting many species directly.

Loss and alteration of the habitats are the two major causes of reduction of biodiversity.

Pollution is another major cause of biodiversity loss that can affect the environment negatively.
