Alexander von Humboldt is associated with (a.) species - area relationship (b.) log S = log C + z logA (C.) Within a region , species richness increases with the increasing limited explored area. (d.) Increased diversity contributes to higher productivity. (e.) Species diversity increases with the loss of keystone species.

Increased diversity contributes to higher productivity. This was evident from the experimental results of

What is so special about tropics that might account for their greater biological diversity? a. Unlike temperate regions subjected to frequent glaciations in the past, tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years and thus, had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. b. Temperate environments, unlike tropical ones, are less seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable. Such constant environments promote niche specialization and lead to a greater species diversity. c. There is more solar energy available in the tropics, which contributes to higher productivity, this in turn might contribute indirectly to greater diversity.

Tropical dense forests are due to
