Detailed explanation-1: -Coral reefs are believed to have the greatest biodiversity. They provide habitats for around 25% of marine organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ecosystems that are more complex are more resilient, or better able to tolerate and recover from disturbances, than ecosystems that are less complex. To help illustrate why this is, imagine a complex ecosystem with many components and many interactions between those components.
Detailed explanation-3: -Possibly the most widely cited is the insurance hypothesis. This suggests that more biodiverse ecosystems will be more resilient to environmental perturbations because they contain a greater number of species available to replace functions carried out by lost species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical rainforests are the most biodiverse habitats on Earth. They are home to a huge number of different plants, animals, fungi and other organisms.
