AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The terrestrial biome with the lowest biodiversity is the tundra. The tundra is located at the northern most and southern most poles of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because of their extreme conditions, there is not as much biodiversity found in deserts as in other biomes. Any vegetation and wildlife living in a desert must have special adaptations for surviving in a dry environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tundra is the biome with the least biodiversity. The ground doesn’t support much in the way of plant life because it is frozen, so there is less vegetation to support other life forms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Due to harsh climate in deserts, only some of the most unusual plants and animals can survive in such regions. Most of them are succulents, which mean that they store water. The great wealth of plant and animal life in desert areas are also an important source of local livelihoods.
