\nStatement I is true. Tundra climates are characterized by extremely low temperatures, short growing seasons, and often permafrost, creating harsh conditions that limit the variety and abundance of plant and animal life. Consequently, biodiversity in tundra regions is comparatively low compared to many other biomes. Statement II is also true. The short and cool summers mean the period suitable for plant growth, flowering, and reproduction, as well as for animal breeding cycles, is very brief. This ‘less reproductive warm period’ is a primary reason why fewer species can survive and reproduce effectively in the tundra, directly leading to lower biodiversity. Thus, Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I.
\n<\/section>\n
\nBiodiversity is influenced by environmental factors like temperature, precipitation, and seasonality. Tundra environments have severe limiting factors for life.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe short growing season limits primary productivity, which in turn affects the food available for herbivores and subsequent trophic levels. Specialized adaptations are required for organisms to survive the cold and short summer in the tundra.
