Question

What is meant by the following line from ncert::
"for many taxonomic groups, species inventories are more complete in temperate than tropical countries".

Answer 1

1. This is due to the reason that temperate regions harbour less species than the tropical regions.
2. Almost all species have been studied in temperate regions while in tropical regions, there are still many species waiting to be discovered and named.
3. Thus, the lists of species at temperate region is complete while in tropical regions, it is still incomplete.
