Verified by Toppr

A) The diversity present in the ranges of communities in an entire geographical area is known as Gamma diversity. The term was introduced by R. H. Whittaker. Also, gamma diversity = alpha diversity x Beta diversity.
B) Biodiversity increases from high altitudes to low altitudes. As the favorable conditions for the species richness decrease at high altitudes.
So, the correct answer is 'Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect'.
