In a fragmented rainforest, researchers notice a change in plant species composition near the edges compared to the interior. What might be causing this shift? Group of answer choices: A. Lower temperatures at the edges supporting cold-tolerant plant species B. Increased light and wind exposure at the edges favoring the growth of sun-loving and wind-dispersed plant species C.

Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.
