Limnetic

Riparian Ecosystem

Image B is more biodiverse, because shows more different species than image A.

Image A is more biodiverse, because shows a greater number of organisms that image B

Both images show the same biodiversity

Specialist species are more vulnerable

Generalist species are more vulnerable

Both types of species are equally affected

Habitat loss has no effect on species

Species richness increases with latitude

Species richness decreases with latitude

Species richness remains constant with latitude

Species richness is unrelated to latitude

Biological diversity maintenance

Frequent rainfall will dilute the effect of the carbon dioxide in the water

There will be an overpopulation of oysters and other shelled marine species.

The water level will rise and cause floods, damaging coastal ecosystems with contaminated water.

Many species of marine organisms will be weakened, making them unable to produce and maintain their shells
