Detailed explanation-1: -Which type of coastline would probably support greater species diversity-a rocky, tree-lined coast, or a coast consisting mostly of beach sand? Explain. A rocky, tree-lined coast; Because the trees provide more nutrients and a more stable habitat for species to survive.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most frequently reported ecosystem services were the provisioning service “raw material” (533 ESR), the supporting service “providing habitat” (262 ESR) and the regulating service “regulation of pollutants” (215 ESR).
