Detailed explanation-1: -The tundra biome has the least biodiversity, but the northern coniferous biome also has low species diversity. Generally speaking, desert biomes have low species diversity, but pockets of localized high biodiversity do exist.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is consistent with the Arctic tundra biomes worldwide. They have the least biodiversity of any of the world’s biomes. This is likely due to the cold temperatures and precipitation, which can inhibit the growth of many plants and trees.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biodiversity is also low, compared to most other biomes, as not many species are able to adapt to survive in the tundra. Since the temperatures are so low, soil is very slow to form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Desert and tundra are two types of biomes. Both the biomes experience less precipitation due to this they have a less diversity of flora and fauna as compared to other biomes like savanna, grasslands, chaparral etc.
