As human population increases, the succession in the rainforest leads to increased biodiversity.
|
|
|
As human population increases, the diversity of all rainforest plant species decreases.
|
|
|
As human population increases, the number of individual rainforest plant species increases.
|
|
|
As human population increases, the diversity of larger rainforest plant species increases.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -As human population increases, the diversity of all rainforest plant species decreases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps the greatest threat to biodiversity from a growing population is from the rapidly increasing per capita consumption. There has been an unprecedented increase in consumption, with about 10% of the world’s population in the G7 countries consuming 40% of the Earth’s biological productivity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rainforests have high biodiversity because they are abundant in nutrients, energy and a favorable climate. Tropical rainforests have warm temperatures and lots of precipitation. The high intensity sunlight provides energy for producers in the rainforest and supports a wide variety of plant growth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Biodiversity plays a crucial role in human nutrition through its influence on world food production, as it ensures the sustainable productivity of soils and provides the genetic resources for all crops, livestock, and marine species harvested for food.
