Tropical rain forests are one of the densely vegetated forests with millions of plants and animals species. The climate of the Earth is changing at an alarming rate and the scientists are appealing people to save these forests.
This could be accounted for the reason that the tropical forests have a diversity of plant species which can utilize the available carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to perform photosynthesis. This can directly reduce the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere which is responsible for the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect increases the temperature of the Earth as the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and monoxide covers the atmosphere which does not allow the sun rays to deflect back from the surface of the earth and the heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere. This heat energy is one of the causes of Global warming.
Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments. With more variation, it is more likely that some individuals in a population will possess variations of alleles that are suited for the environment. Those individuals are more likely to survive to produce offspring bearing that allele.
