Abundance and diversity of living beings in tropical

Question

Explain how the abundance and diversity of the living beings within the tropical forests can be explained?

Answer 1

The biodiversity of these ecosystems can be described by the large availability of main abiotic factors for the photosynthesis. As these factors are abundant, plants may carry out maximum photosynthetic activity, living and reproducing in easy manner. With the large amount and diversity of the producers (autotrophs), consumers (heterotrophic animals and microorganisms) also have plenty food and a complex food web emerge generating several different ecological niches to be explored. Thus, it is possible appearing of varied living beings as well as the existence of large populations.
