Detailed explanation-1: -The greatest biodiversity is found in the tropical regions of the world, particularly among tropical rainforests and coral reefs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Coral reefs are believed by many to have the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem on the planet-even more than a tropical rainforest. Occupying less than one percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to more than 25% of all marine life. Why is that important?
Detailed explanation-3: -An ecosystem is a collection of living and non-living organisms and their interaction with each other. Ecological biodiversity refers to the variations in the plant and animal species living together and connected by food chains and food webs. It is the diversity observed among the different ecosystems in a region.
