Biodiversity
Factors that affect biodiversity
Temperature
Areas with
equitable climate
plentiful precipitation
high insolation
Places near the equator
high amount of biodiversity
Limiting factors
Areas with higher biodiversity have fewer limiting factors
more abundant
more vegetation
number of habitats
water
decrease competition
increases the variety

Natural areas allow us to get away of citylife
it maintains genetic diversity
evolution
it allows to present a numerous research
Education opportunities
Humans are part of the web life
older areas
high biodiversity
longer-time span
organisms to diversify more
