None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -We found that patch size has a positive effect on phylogenetic diversity, presumably because environmental heterogeneity and niche opportunities are greater in bigger patches. Also, phylogenetic diversity was positively affected by edge density.
Detailed explanation-2: -Small patches of habitats have fewer resources and less suitable habitat compared to large patches of habitats. Therefore, the diversity of species and ecological interactions decreases in small patches of habitats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical rainforests are the most biodiverse habitats on Earth. They are home to a huge number of different plants, animals, fungi and other organisms.
