Answer 2

Answer:

This is an example of Species Richness.

Explanation:

• Species richness simply refers to the variety and variability of species within a region.

• Tropical rainforest shows a great diversity of living organisms on earth. And this depicts the richness of different plant and animal species in that area. Though they cover less than 2% of the earth's surface, these rainforests include more than 50% of all the plants and animals found on land.

The reasons for showing such a great floral and faunal diversity are

• The tropical climate where sufficient sunlight is available for photosynthesis. so the more the sunlight, the more is energy. And this energy stored in plant vegetation is consumed by animals. Thus this energy supports the abundance of flora and fauna.
• The amazing canopy structure of the rainforest provides a suitable place for plants to grow and animals to live and survive.
• Also, such a canopy serves as a source of food, shelter, hiding places and different species interactions.
• Every year so many new species of insects, fungi and other organisms are found in rainforests.

Hence a rainforest has an abundance of different plant and animal species which is an example of species richness in that region.
