Detailed explanation-1: -Area increases diversity because a larger plot is likely to have more habitats, hence niches, to support a greater variety of species. In addition, many species require a large range for adequate prey or seed forage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unique Climates and Conditions. One of the most significant and naturally occurring causes of differences in biodiversity across the world is differences in climate. Mountain tops and deserts are naturally low in biodiversity, for the simple reason that their unique climates are not suitable to many types of life.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are over 30 recognized biodiversity hotspots in the world. The Andes Mountains Tropical Hotspot is the world’s most diverse hotspot. About one-sixth of all plant species in the world live in this region.
