Why does diversity increase as height above land increases​

Biology
1 answer:
wolverine [178]2 years ago
7 0

Biodiversity rises with altitude initially before falling with height beyond that. Up until it reaches a diversity peak at about 1 300 to 1 800 m.

  • The biodiversity increases at higher geographical locations because There are more hiding locations. They are better for crop growth. They frequently include more than one kind of habitat.
  • As latitude or altitude change, so does biodiversity. As we descend from high to low elevations, the diversity increases (i.e., from poles to equator).
  • While the environment is harsh and plants have a brief growing season in the temperate region, tropical rain forests provide year-round growth-friendly circumstances.
  • This enables the emergence and expansion of several species. On a mountain, there is an initial increase in species diversity after which there is a decline in species variety as you go up in elevation.
  • At higher elevations, temperature drops and seasonal variations increase, which significantly diminishes.

Evolution acts upon the population of organisms and not on each individual organism
Marina86 [1]

Evolution can be defined as the process of changes in the genetic pool of a population over time. The process of natural selection operates the evolution of any population. Evolution acts upon a whole population instead upon on single individual. A single individual doesn't evolve, instead ratios of the genetic types within a population changes when it is evolving, and eventually, complete evolution occurs.

Hence, the given answer is 'true'.

I need help with a dang Mono Lake ecosystem thingy
jeyben [28]

Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.

From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.

The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.

In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
