Why are forest considered biodiversity hotspots ?

Biology
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
7 0

First of all, what is a hotspot?

A hotspot, is a place with a hotter temperature in relation to its surroundings.

So, when we think of "biodiversity hotspot", what exactly does that mean?

It's a place with a higher biodiversity in relation to its surroundings, but also with more concentration of species.


So, that's why forests are considered a biodiversity hotspot. If you want some visual content, try finding a geographical map of Africa. In some desert regions you'll see green spots (some really big). These are forests. The interesting thing about them, is when you search their biodiversity, you'll see what a biodiversity hotspot looks like

What are your thoughts on climate change? Explain 4-5 sentences
densk [106]

Answer:

I think climate change can be either fake or real. I do believe temperatures are rising, but if you look at the history of the earth, it's gone through many ice ages and changes, so I would assume that it is no big deal. There is no evidence that temperatures are rising at a deadly rate, but weather has been unpredictable for a while now. Then again, these are my thoughts on climate change, so I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong. Hope I gave some useful information!
