The effect of altitude on biodiversity is significant, as it influences temperature, precipitation, and habitat types. Generally, biodiversity tends to decrease with increasing altitude due to harsher environmental conditions and reduced habitat availability. However, certain areas, like mountain ranges, can harbor unique species adapted to high altitudes. Elevation gradients create diverse ecological niches, fostering species richness at different elevations. Understanding these patterns is essential for conservation efforts, especially in the context of climate change, which may further impact the distribution and survival of species.
