Question

Colder climates promote higher biodiversity because they are usually larger in size. This provides space for more organisms.

Answer 1

Answer:

False  

Explanation:

The relationship between climate and biodiversity can be defined as follow: warmer climates are generally associated with higher biodiversity because these conditions promote the life of primary producers such as those organisms that produce organic compounds using simple substances and energy from light. Primary producers form the basis of the food chain, thereby their presence is fundamental to generate sustainable high biodiversity environments. For example, warmer climates such as tropical ecosystems promote plants (i.e., primary producers) to grow year-round, thereby supporting more organisms (i.e., species richness) that rely on plants.
