Write any three reasons for greater biodiversity in the tropics?
Answers
Greater biodiversity:
1⃣ Tropical latitude have remained relativity undisturbed for millions of yes and thus have a lovely study time as long duration was available in this region for specification it lead to the species diversification .
2⃣Tropical climate of relative Limo constant and predictable than that of the temperature agents constant environment promotes mike is specialisation and this leads to create a species diversity .
3⃣Solar energy resources like water except are available in abundance in the region this contributed to higher productivity in terms of production leading to Greater biodiversity
Answer:
- Tropical environment is less seasonal and almost constant and predictable as compared to temperate environment which support lower extinction rates of species in tropics.
- Greater mean temperature at equator as compared to the poles support survival of more number of species in tropics.
- Larger areas of tropics can also support larger number of species and also their larger population size.
-Speciation is dependent upon time. Tropical areas have remained undisturbed for millions of years unlike temperate regions, which have experienced frequent glaciations in the past.
Thus, lower rates of species extinction and higher rate of allopatric speciation collectively, also contribute to species richness of tropics.
