Which factors tend to promote higher biodiversity in an ecosystem? Check all that apply. low rainfall diversity of niches short growing seasons large area warm climate

AZ:

so we want more biodiversity... we want more diversity in all the plants and animals which answer choices would help more plants grow, give space to more animals and just be more accommodating for more species?

smurfofficial:

strong clutch for D

AZ:

good, good What about low rainfall? Do we want to keep that or eliminate it? Plants would need lots of water

smurfofficial:

low rainfall not just for the plants but some animals may get thirsty

AZ:

exactly, so would that allow there to be more biodiversity? If plants and animals aren't able to have enough water to grow

smurfofficial:

water the second main source

AZ:

so far we only have large area what other factors do you think would help?

smurfofficial:

large area because the animals would try to eat the others in day

AZ:

would more animals and plants grow in a cold environment like Antarctica or a warm climate like the Amazon rain forest?

smurfofficial:

to be honest....they both need different environment because they can't grow at the same place some need cold some need warm some need hot some can adap the the climates they are in some can't some will just die

AZ:

that's true but think about which places have the MOST life is it in warm areas or cold areas?

smurfofficial:

warm sir/ma'am

AZ:

exactly

smurfofficial:

;D

smurfofficial:

thank youuu

AZ:

there's still one more answer!

AZ:

So we said no to `low rainfall` and yes to `large area` and `warm climate` but what about `diversity of niches`? @smurfofficial

smurfofficial:

yessir

smurfofficial:

yes ma'am

AZ:

do you think diversity of niches would help more plants and animals grow

smurfofficial:

yeah

AZ:

Good job!

smurfofficial:

I already had that one mark off as my first one

AZ:

oo okay, good! Just wanted to make sure you didn't miss any correct answer choices :)
